Locals and legionnaires could carouse in drinking and eating houses called <em>tabernae<\/em>, or \u201ctaverns&#8221; as they later became known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inns:<\/strong> Medieval pubs were wildly popular, prompting King Edgar&#8217;s futile one-per-settlement rule. These inns were thriving hubs for pilgrims and traders. Inns were also linked to monasteries which hosted travelers and served monks&#8217; brewed beers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 1357, a law mandated inn signs, giving rise to pub names like The George &amp; Dragon, The Swan, The Crown, The Red Lion which were depicted via images due to widespread illiteracy<\/strong>.&nbsp;Then, in 1534, Henry VIII&#8217;s split with Rome dissolved monasteries. This erased monk rivalry and shifted pubs&#8217; focus to food and drink.

Photo credit: Vincent Creton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pubs:<\/strong> Next up was the &#8220;new kid on the block&#8221;: the public house. These offered no lodging, just food and drinks. <strong>Almost 46,000 emerged rapidly, providing a path to riches for publicans<\/strong>. Yet, this surge also brought vulgarity and misconduct. This led to various laws, including one binding 90% of English pubs to breweries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there are <strong>free houses (with unrestricted offerings), which are some of London and England&#8217;s top-notch pubs.<\/strong> However, many are still linked to properties owned by major brewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, don\u2019t miss these top historic spots on your next visit to London. (And speaking of historic spots, make sure to try another strong British tradition: trying <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/best-fish-and-chips-in-london\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best fish and chips in London<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ye_Olde_Cheshire_Cheese_Fleet_Street\"><\/span>Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ye-olde-cheshire-cheese.co.uk\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese<\/a> is a Grade II listed building <strong>with origins dating back to the 1500s<\/strong>. The Great Fire of London ravaged the old city in September of 1666, so it did have to be rebuilt. (Which means it\u2019s still older than a lot of European countries\u2014fascinating!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rustic and ramshackle, it is operated by the Samuel Smith Brewery. The brewery is not only reasonably priced but does a <strong>fantastic drop of Dark Mild<\/strong>. Such London luminaries as Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens enjoyed a pint or two within its hallowed walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Devour_London_Pub-Tour_0092res-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The sign hanging outside Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in London\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is one of the most iconic historical pubs in London and a must-visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Spaniards_Inn_Hampstead\"><\/span>The Spaniard\u2019s Inn, Hampstead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying right on the edge of London\u2019s oldest and wildest ancient parkland, Dickens mentions The Spaniard\u2019s Inn in <em>The Pickwick Papers<\/em>, and Bram Stoker in <em>Dracula<\/em>. This gives you an idea of its legacy as a fine 16th-century vintage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if that\u2019s not enough history for you, <strong>it\u2019s rumored that England\u2019s most infamous highwayman Dick Turpin used to frequent here, keeping a keen eye on the road for any wealthy but unlucky travelers who might be passing by<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only worth visiting for a pint or three on a sunny day, a winter\u2019s day or any other sort of day, <strong>it also does one of the best Sunday roasts in all of London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Devour_London_Pub-Tour_0117res-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two pints of beer sitting on a beer\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Prospect_of_Whitby_Wapping\"><\/span>The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can pretty much guarantee from historical records that <strong>the Prospect of Whitby is London\u2019s oldest riverside pub<\/strong>. It first found its feet on the <strong>banks of the Thames in around 1520<\/strong>. And as this was a city founded because of its river, that makes it pretty important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an earlier incarnation, <strong>this boozer was known as the Devil\u2019s Tavern, a disreputable place that thieves and pirates could use as a base to rob the boats that passed bringing in goods from all over the country, and later the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you make your way to the terrace, you&#8217;ll spot a haunting noose that remains to this day where Judge Jeffreys would hang criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Prospect is no longer a refuge for crooks but instead a relaxing space for riverside vistas, Greene King brews and proper pub grub.

It sits in the perfect location just over the bridge from the City of London proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the age before trains, stagecoach routes were important to trade and travel. Only they were slower than the modes of transport that would come later. This meant that coaching inns were key to providing rest breaks for weary passengers, horses and drivers.&nbsp;This was one such place and it is absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some say William Shakespeare frequented this pub due to its closeness to his Southwark theaters like The Globe Theatre and the Rose<\/strong>. This makes it another of London&#8217;s oldest pubs that Charles Dickens mentions, this time in the novel <em>Little Dorrit<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Devour_London_Pub-Tour_0112res-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"View of street in London with small British flags blowing in the wind\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting London?
