The Marquis of Granby is the name of many pubs throughout England, named after the John Manners, Marquis (or Marquess) of Granby, 1721–1770, who set many of his old soldiers up as publicans when their military service was over.
Of particular interest are:
The Marquis of Granby, Soho
142 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2. The address was formerly given as 19 West Street. The pub was established in 1791 and rebuilt in its present form in 1886.[1]
