Not a very large table, I'm afraid. And a couple of the beers - those from November - almost certainly weren't brewed there. According to Zythophile the brewery on Tottenham Court Road closed sometime in the autumn of 1921. Brewing was moved to the Nine Elms brewery in Wandsworth, also owned by Meux.

And this the advert from the Times of 23rd February 1922 advertising the sale of the site:
And here's a map of what was up for sale:
Given the location, it must have been worth a bob or two.
A little searching shows that the Dominion Theatre was built on part of the site. I also found a short history of the theatre: http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/DominionTheatre.htm
ReplyDeleteInteresting that they offered a "Historical beer" Original London Stout compared to their standard London brown stout, there used have been a good demand out there for them to brew it
