The Nordenfelt Tavern, named after Thorsten Nordenfelt, was known as the "Pom Pom" after the QF1 Machine gun. The QF 1 pounder, universally known as the pom-pom due to the sound of its discharge, was a 37 mm British autocannon, the first of its type in the world. It was made at Erith by Maxim-Nordenfelt then Vickers, Sons & Maxim. '
