The Tabard public house was built in 1880 by the architect Norman Shaw as one of the public buildings of the Bedford Park garden suburb; the others, nearby, are the Bedford Park Stores, St Michael and All Angels church, and a clubhouse, now the London Buddhist Vihara. The upper walls of the public house are covered in Arts and Craft tiles by William De Morgan, and the fireplaces have surrounds of tiles created by Walter Crane an early example of Art Nouveau.
