There’s a pub in my hometown that claims it’s been open since 1851. The city itself was founded in 1874.

I wanna be on this journey to decide which is the most historic pub of London.

I’m with you, there. It’s not about how long it’s been there, but the ambience of the place.
And, yes… I think it would be a lovely idea if you did a miniseries on old London pubs. Save us all a bit of legwork.

There are almost certainly pubs older than The George on Borough High Street, but I've yet to drink in one that feels older.

I used to work at The City Barge in Chiswick, W4, back in the early 80s as day cook, night barmaid, (I'm ancient.) It's right on the Thames towpath and our "cellar"was in the attic. It used to be called The Lord Mayor's (or something,) and was dated to something like 1480. When I worked there, before the clamshells (Thames flood defense) went in, the lower "Old Bar" which opened straight onto the towpath, had a submarine-type door that had to be secured at full moon/high tides, we had a chart provided by London Borough Council of the dates. The windows were extremely thick individual small square panes, some were bull's-eyes, and I fondly remember during a very high tide watching ducks and geese paddling along halfway up the windows, their webbed feet clearly visible in the murky Thames. And yes, it was flooded several times over the years when a tree branch smashed a pane of glass.
Fun fact: the Old Bar was used as a set in the Beatle's film "Help!" where Ringo encountered the lion in the cellar. Obviously, we didn't have a cellar... 😉

I would love a series on pub history!

I'd love a historic pub video or series!
If you ever do a historic London pub walk, I bet that will be a real winner. 😄

Whenever I visit a new town or city, I always go in search of the oldest pub. Because I love pubs, I love history, and old pubs are just so much more interesting. I tried to find the oldest in London and it's impossible to find. Ye Olde Cheshire cheese was a claimant and it looks old and it is definitely the sort of pub I was looking for. But not sure if it's the oldest. The Grapes was another possible contender, though I won't lie, I mainly went because Sir Ian McKellan owns it and I was lucky enough to see him when I visited. But that pub is just gorgeous inside and again, even if it's not the oldest, it's the sort of thing I'm looking for in a pub. I don't know if I'll ever find out which is the oldest in London but I will keep looking and if anyone has any suggestions for old pubs in London let me know😊

I'd watch a full length video on this.

My local growing up didn't have a sign saying how old it was, but the last major remodel was pre-war with only a lick of pain every couple of decades. The buildings themselves were about 18th century and it was technically built as an in. It was rebuilt from an old brewery/pub and the oldest parts remaining were 16th century - not been a pub for 10 years now though.
I don't think any of our pubs actually claim to be the oldest here - but one of the night clubs has a see through floor that you can see Roman ruins through, that some claim used to be a pub. That place changes names roughly once every time Adele releases an album though...

😂 in Nottingham we have the Bell Inn and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem competing for oldest pub status seems difficult to verify with name changes, changes of use and building changes. Both great pubs with historic atmospheres 😊

Lancaster has one of those crimes. When I moved there, The Waggon and Horses still had booths, now it looks like a 'Spoons inside.

I’d love a series on historic pubs. When I visited England, I got a kick out of eating in The George and The Eagle and Child and imagining Dickens, Tolkien and C. S. Lewis in the same spot.
Thanks for all your great videos.

Right, I never thought I'd say this on this channel but you should definitely do a pub crawl series! Get bladdered with J!

I was always told it was Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, and honestly that looked and felt pretty old as well...

Visited London last August and it became a running joke as I explored the city (mainly on foot). Lost track of just how many “oldest” signs there were.

The first pub I ever worked in was The Plume of Feathers in Greenwich. I believe it was built in the 1600's.

Ye Old Mitre in Holborn has a pretty good historical claim apparently

"Old" pubs need: Wood tables, wood chairs, wood bar, wood floor, and wood paneled walls. Wood ceiling is optional.
