The Old Bell Tavern 🔔 - 95 Fleet St, Greater, #CityOfLondon, #London, #EC4Y #FleetStreet was one of the most important places in #London for a long time. Like Lombard Street was for banking, or Cloth Fair was for textiles, Fleet Street was the home of printing…
This spectacular, vintage photograph of Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill is one of many hanging on the walls of the 'Old Bell'. When I'm in pubs as classy as this, I often take a moment to gaze at such images. I see many such photos online, but every now and then, a pub will produce a few exclusive classics that I've never seen. This feature, like many others within real pubs, isn't to be found in the modern bars that crete nothing other than cultural morbidity. When such pubs dissappear, so to do the many antique photographs that sat upon its walls. I wonder how many are either long destroyed or hanging on private walls since the decline of our pubs. Pubs that lived in packs are now destined to become lone wolves within a winter that few will survive.

People's words can make me feel more nauseous than that of food poisoning.
If someone does not want to be with you then there is nothing to gain from being with them other than to be patronised.
"What have I become?
My sweetest friend.
Everyone I know, goes away.
In the end."
My sweetest friend.
Everyone I know, goes away.
In the end."
It's not just that companionship makes you happy, but that you'd be miserable without it.
