The Yorkshire Stingo was built around 1680 and survived up until 1964 when it was demolished as part of the construction of the Edgware Road flyover. It's address was 12 Homer Place, New Road up to 1857 and from that date 183 Marylebone Road. The Stingo had extensive gardens, bowling greens, pavilions and summer houses and was the venue for popular gal events. Among the attractions at these events were balloon ascents sometimes with parachuting from them, firework displays, military bands and acrobats. It was from the Stingo that John Shillibeer ran his Omnibus to Bank, the first such service in London. A licensed playhouse was opened at the site in 1843 but in 1849 along with the bowling green and gardens was sold off for the construction of new bath and washhouses and the County Court.
