This was built by William Westbrook, who opened it as a coffee and chop house in 1854, or a little earlier. Within a few years it became the Star Hotel, sometimes known as the Star and Garter. Despite its prominent position it was perhaps too close to the Royal Crystal Palace Hotel for real prosperity, and the Star had a faltering progress, sometimes lapsing into a private house. It is now divided into flats.
