Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese
I drink here not because it's famous but because the spit-and-sawdust interior is genuinely unchanged. The cellar levels are still there. This is not a recreation.
Rebuilt 1667, one year after the Fire. Samuel Johnson drank here. Dickens drank here. The press of Fleet Street drank here for three centuries.
