Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

I had a quick look up one of the many alleyways off of Fleet Street on the way back to Cannon Street station tonight to have a look at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub, which is a rather famous old pub. I wasn't brave enough to pop in there for a swift drink as I was on my own, but I must drag someone along there for a cheeky drink one day!

The pub was rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. There has been a pub at this location since 1538 and Charles Dickens, Dr. Samuel Johnson (who lived just around the corner) and one or two more famous folk were supposed to have been regulars at the pub (apparently! I might have got my facts wrong!)
