The Shakespeare’s Head And It’s Historic Connection To The #Policing Of #London 👮‍♂️⛓️🍻

The 'Shakespeare's Head' is a world unto itself. This little safe haven is as comforting as it is social. Jason, who kindly opens the pub at 11:30 every day for his customers, runs a charming pub that sits beside a very interesting and historic wall associated with policing, and apparently, crime. This flat-roof pubs friendly atmosphere has gained it many visits and friends from a great many actors from Sadler's Wells theatre, as well as serving many loyal locals. Join us as we visit Jason, the wall, and this fine establishment.

The Holding Cells Beneath the Viaduct Tavern ⛓️🍻

Join us on a macabre journey as we venture into what are thought to be holding cells that served the notorious #Newgate prison or a separate housing block used to hold people unable to pay their debts. Newgate and its horrors are world famous, but fewer know of a couple of remaining relics included in this video. We'd like to thank Sergio and the rest of the staff as the Viaduct who, as usual, were incredibly accommodating and helpful. We have much more on these topics coming up in the future. The Viaduct and its surrounding areas are also included on our "#Smithfield" pub and history tour. Give us a follow and join us on YouTube, where you'll find the rest of our series, as well as keeping up to date with our upcoming tours. 🤝

The tour will last between 2-1/2 to 3 hours and will end in a pub.

The 14th Century Vaulted Crypt Beneath The George Vaults - #Rochester, #Kent, #England 🍻

Venture with us into a medieval #crypt beneath a pub and wine bar in a fascinating little town that's absolutely packed with history. This venue allows one to step into the monastic footsteps of #Britain's ancestors, all while enjoying a drink. This is like having a room within a museum all to yourself, except this museum, not only serves alcohol, but allows you to stand up close to, and even touch the relics themselves. But, unlike museums, which have items in rooms, this room and the features within it are what make it a museum within itself. We can only imagine what these walls have seen and heard. We'd like to thank the staff at the George Vaults for giving us a warm welcome and access to this awe-inspiring part of Britain's history.

The Roman and Medieval Wall Behind The Eagle Tavern
- 124 High St, #Rochester, #Kent, #ME1 🍻

There are abundant traces of British and European history within the tiny town of Rochester. One could spend days in this small space and still miss so much. For me, the quirky yet magnificent features behind pleasant pubs such as the Eagle Tavern are what set Britain's public houses apart from the rest of the world. Several pubs within the town give you views of the types of relics studied by academics and tourists alike. If you're in the right place, you really can experience what it's like to interact with a living museum. Follow us on our journey into the life and death of Britain's lost and living pubs.

Yesterday, we visited the Cross Keys in #CoventGarden, where we enjoyed a great selection of lagers within an antiquitous setting. There aren't many public houses that tick as many boxes as this one. Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser Budvar alone are enough to make this one of London's top pubs. The group seemed to be as impressed with this public house as I was the first time I laid eyes on it. Make the most of these gems while we can. Thank you to everyone for a great turnout and a spectacular day. @BritainsPubs, ChelseaDan5
