Feathers, 36 Tudor Street / 22 Temple Street, Whitefriars EC4

Whitefriars index

Ex-Watney Combe Reid. Rebuilt in the late 19th century and again in 1974. Recently (2018) rebranded as a branch of Jamie's wine bars.  *** Noted as Temple Rest, 36 Tudor street in the 1911 census; this makes sense as it is referred to as Temple Restaurant between 1899 and 1944, for example.

The Feathers early address according to trade directories is the Feathers, 22 Temple Street; but at the same time it is listed (un-named) in the 1851 and 1861 census at 1 Temple Lane. This pub was rebuilt in 1895 and in around this year it also took the alternative name of Temple Restaurant. It was again rebuilt in 1974 and is now called the Witness Box. **
