Pubs where Dickens drank, where the Great Fire stopped, where history lives in every pint glass.
145 Fleet St, EC4A 2BU
Rebuilt after the 1666 Great Fire. Dickens, Twain, and Conan Doyle were regulars.
33 Rose St, Covent Garden
Known as the "Bucket of Blood" for its bare-knuckle boxing history.
75-77 Borough High St, SE1
London's last surviving galleried coaching inn. Shakespeare probably drank here.
57 Wapping Wall, E1W
Thames-side pub from 1520. Samuel Pepys and Charles Dickens were patrons.
1 Ely Ct, Ely Pl, EC1N
Hidden in an alley since 1546. Finding it is half the adventure.
