Three Tuns

The Three Tuns on Portman Mews South in Marylebone has been at this location since at least 1841, when there were 18 pubs of that name in London. Most of the other Three Tuns are gone, though it still remains a common pub name throughout England (tun is an old English word meaning a “brewing vat” or “cask”).This Three Tuns and the two buildings housing it are the last vestiges of historic Portman Mews South. Many of the other buildings there were badly damaged during World War II.
