Another tour of historic pubs in part of the City of London, this time around Cannon Street.
Musings along the way:
- Does the Bell really date back to before the Great Fire of London?
- The Sugarloaf turns out to be a lot older than most other sources suggest!
- At The Golden Fleece we ponder Greene King's house ale.
- Ye Olde Watling - was it really a pub since 1668? Or was it a cheese shop?
- Was Williamson's Tavern really in the Williamson's family since 1739?
