Whist in London over the Holidays I passed this pub on the way to the British Museum and had to stop to get a photo of the lovely Blue Door. I love the hanging sphere plants and that shade of blue. 
I did a quick search to see how long the pub has been there and found it’s been there a LONG TIME! In 1856 a John Russell was in the postal directory at this address.
Here’s the link to the London pub wiki that shares the pub’s history.

That is so cool! I love that shade of blue, too. Recently I read “Mudlark”, by a woman who combs along the shore of the Thames for artifacts that are exposed by the water. It was a fascinating read, giving glimpses into the history of London.

Hanging sphere plants are unique, Deborah. From here it looks like freshly painted blue? I am enjoying all of your London photos!

Your guess is as good as mine on the freshness of the paint. It does look clean and elegant doesn’t it? I can’t tell you how happy I was to have passed just this pub on my way to the British Museum! The Spirits knew I wanted to see great doors on this trip to London. 😀 I must have been living good in their opinion because I passed this door and pub.

London definitely knows how to do colorful buildings, great doors, and wonderful green accents in hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters. This is a perfect Thursday Door. 🙂

You many have an error in your link to Thurs. Doors – I clicked on it twice, and it went to my own blog. Then I clicked on your name next to your photo, and voila, I am here!

The link in the comments at Norm’s post today didn’t work? I don’t know how to edit the comments there? Or even if comments are editable?
