“Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese” Pub
145 Fleet Street, EC4A 2BU
This intriguing pub encapsulates the last few hundred years of London history in a single lunchtime. Sample the excellent beers and traditional pub grub. In winter, an open fireplace is used to keep the punters warm. It is something of an institution on Fleet Street. Rebuilt just after the Great Fire of London of 1666 (there’s been a pub on this site since 1538) it oozes character and history with its curiously gloomy corners, dark paneled walls and ceilings and flagstone floors all worn by centuries of use by thirsty customers! Charles Dickens, Voltaire and Mark Twain were regulars here.
Cheers!
