Finial

Evans's Supper Rooms were located on King Street off Covent Garden Piazza. Constructed in the early 18th century as a private house, the building was subsequently converted into a hotel. The supper room became a fashionable musical entertainment venue under the proprietorship of W.C. Evans, a local actor.

Upon Evans's retirement, the business was taken over by another actor, John 'Paddy' Green, who oversaw the construction of a new music hall in the mid 1850s. Along with the famous Weston's on High Holborn, Evans's set the trend for grand music halls in London's West End. Bills were often eclectic with many performers drawn from London's pleasure gardens, such as Vauxhall.

Evans's ceased to operate as a music hall in the 1880s. It was then occupied by the National Sporting Club from the 1890s until the inter-war years. The building was then taken over by a Covent Garden Market fresh produce trader. This finial was taken from the entrance to the original supper room when the façade of the building was rebuilt in the 1970s.
