The Flying Standard
The Flying Standard in Coventry is not just a pub, it's a historical landmark that celebrates the city's rich automotive heritage. Named after the iconic range of cars produced by the Standard Motor Company, this Wetherspoon pub is a tribute to the innovative spirit of Coventry, once the heart of the British car industry. The pub is located in a prime spot in the city and offers a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. With a menu that includes real ales, craft beers, and a variety of meals, it's a perfect place to relax and soak in the local culture. The building's history is as rich as the beverages it serves, standing as a reminder of the city's past glories and its ongoing tradition of community and hospitality.
It was also known as 'Priory Gate' building' or Priory Gate offices and formerly H. Samuel. It was built in mock-Tudor style to compliment buildings in Priory Row, in 1938-39.
The landmark Coventry pub has been sold to a private investor for £3.225m. It’s a large pub on the ground floor and two self-contained apartments on the second floor.
The property sits at the heart of the city centre, occupying a prominent corner position opposite New Buildings, by the pedestrian entrance to the Cathedral Quarter which contains many of Coventry’s most popular tourist attractions including Coventry Cathedral, St Mary’s Guildhall and Holy Trinity Church. It is also well placed for the city’s central shopping quarter, opposite Primark and West Orchard Shopping Centre. The property offers 1,131 sq m plus a roof terrace of 64 sq m.
