      "Salisbury Stores, 90 St Martins Lane, St Martins in Fields

      This pub was founded in 1725 as the Coach & Horses and briefly took the name the Ben Caunt's Head, before being re-named the Salisbury Stores in 1865. It was re-built in its current form in 1892. In more recent years the name has been abbreviated to the Salisbury."
