Green Man

The Green Man was built on the site of a medieval alehouse mentioned in records of 1552.

Green Man, Muswell Hill

The Green Man Public House was built on the site of a medieval alehouse mentioned in records of 1552. These historical associations, and the continuous use of the site as a hostelry, have resulted in it becoming a local landmark.

The photograph shows a late 17th or early 18th Century low two storey brick building with a plain clay tiled roof and three brick stringcourse that had been ‘modernised’ by the introduction of sash windows and a canted bay window through both floors on which the pub signs have been mounted.

The continuous use of the site as a hostelry resulted in it becoming a local landmark.

It closed around 2010 to become a restaurant which in turn has closed.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
