Status: Closed and demolished
Address: 56 Chapel Street, N1 (streetmap) (osm) (gmap) (bingmap) (streetview)
London borough: Islington
Former address: [now 56 Chapel Market]
Historical parish: Clerkenwell
Dates open: by 1842-at least 1871
Notes: Although not named in any census returns, by the 1881 census this has become a "coffee palace", and as such it is named as the "Admiral Napier" in the 1882 Post Office directory. This may therefore have been its name when it was a beer house earlier in its existence.
