The Duke of York, Fitzrovia
The Duke of York
The Duke of York is a public house at 47 Rathbone Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 1NW. It is located in the north of the street on the corner with Charlotte Place and bears the year 1791.[1]
In 1943 Anthony Burgess and his wife were drinking in the pub when they witnessed it invaded by a "razor gang". It has been speculated that this influenced the content of his later novel A Clockwork Orange.[2]
In 2012, the pub's licence was reviewed after it failed to control customers drinking outside the pub.[3]
In 2014, Prince Andrew, Duke of York gave permission for his image to be used on the new pub sign.[4]
