Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub

The Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is one of the oldest public houses in London and has been associated with numerous literary figures such as Charles Dickens and Alfred Tennyson who were known to frequent here. Public houses, known colloquially as pubs, play a key part in British culture and British society and have done so for many centuries. London in particular is known for having a large number of pubs, many serving their own specially brewed ales. Many pubs also serve food, known colloquially as “pub grub”, which were traditionally for working class people and served in large portions. For those interested in getting a feel of what it is like to live as an average “Briton in Britain”, a visit to a pub is a must and the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese would be a good starting point.

The Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is located in central London’s financial district and has a rich history. The pub was damaged badly in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was subsequently rebuilt, but the pub has retained much of its historical feel and provides a unique experience for visitors who are interested in the UK’s unique pub culture.
