Blossom's Inn

Blossom's Inn was a tavern which stood in Lawrence Lane in the City of London from the 14th century until 1855.

Its name was used for a major property development at the end of the 20th century and the site is now part of the large complex of 30 Gresham Street.

[4] When the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, visited Henry VIII in 1522, the inn was recorded as having twenty beds and stabling for sixty horses.

His treatment included a blister, brandy, a draught of ammonia with camphor, friction over the heart, heating of the feet, letting of four pounds of blood and a turpentine enema.

[7] Today, the site of Blossom's Inn is entirely covered by an office building of 386,000 square feet (35,900 m2)[8] known as 30 Gresham Street that was developed by Land Securities in 2002–03 and was described at the time as "the biggest speculative office development in the capital".
