The Czecho-slovak pub in London was created in 1939. The first club was entablished in Holborn. It was rented from duke from Bedford. In 1946 the club had to be moved because they couldn´t sell beer. So Czecho-slovak legionnaires got 3000 pounds from Edvard Beneš and can buy house in West End Lane. Later club had bad times because the majority of legionnaires returned home. However arrival of komunism in central Europe caused that emigrants ran away from homes and came here. People can feel this atmosphere in the pub because there are the pictures and busts of statemans from first common republic – president T.G.Masaryk, M.R. Štefánik or names of pilots who died in second world war on bronze board.
Nowdays there is only the copy of this board because original is situated in museum in Prag. The pub is always cramped during world championships in football or hockey. If this pub captures your attention you can just visit it – the doors are open.
