Captain Cook, Putney
The Captain Cook was a pub in Putney, London.
Location
[edit]The pub was on the north side of the Upper Richmond road, at number 408, on the corner of Dyers lane.[1]
History
[edit]The pub was originally called the Northumberland Arms and was managed by Young & Co,[2] in the 1950s it featured in a painting by local artist Roy Newby (1912 - 2011).[3] The pub was also called the West Putney Tavern[4] and in 1994 became the first of the Jim Thompson Flaming Wok chain oriental themed bars,[5][6] named after the designer Jim Thompson, and won the 1998 Carlton Pub Restaurant of The Year.[7]
The later Captain Cook name was inspired by the explorer Captain Cook,[8] but the pub eventually closed on Christmas Eve in 2013[9] and is now a Sainsbury's Local convenience store.[10]
