Ye Olde Cock Tavern

Ye Olde Cock Tavern

Ye Olde Cock Tavern is a public house on London's Fleet Street.

Originally built before the 17th Century, it was rebuilt, including the interior (which is thought to include work by carver Grinling Gibbons) [http://www.pubs.com/pub_details.cfm?ID=217 Pubs.Com - Olde Cock Tavern Info] (Accessed 31/03/2008)] , on the other side of the road in the 1880's when a branch of the Bank of England was built where it stood [http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/clubs_bars/venue-500.php All in London - Olde Cock Tavern Info] (Accessed 31/03/2008)] . Tragically, however, in the 1990, a fire broke out and destroyed many of the original ornaments, and has since gone through a restoration using photographs.

It has been frequented by Samuel Pepys, Alfred Tennyson and Charles Dickens"Evans. J.", The Book of Beer Knowledge, ISBN 1-85249-198-1 ] .
