The Two Chairmen, Dartmouth Street Adjacent to the Cockpit Stairs, the "Two Chairmen" pub was established possibly in 1729. It is thought to be the oldest public house in Westminster. The pub’s name is a nod to the practice of hiring sedan chairs, which were available for rent outside the establishment. Sedan chairs, a popular mode of transport for short London journeys, allowed passengers to travel above the city’s filth and mud. They were introduced in the early years of King Charles I’s reign.
