The Duke of York, Fitzrovia

The Duke of York is a public house at 47 Rathbone Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 1NW. It is located in the north of the street on the corner with Charlotte Place and bears the year 1791.

In 1943 Anthony Burgess and his wife were drinking in the pub when they witnessed it invaded by a "razor gang". It has been speculated that this influenced the content of his later novel A Clockwork Orange.

In 2012, the pub's licence was reviewed after it failed to control customers drinking outside the pub.

In 2014, Prince Andrew, Duke of York gave permission for his image to be used on the new pub sign.
