John Snow (public house)

The John Snow, formerly the Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is a public house in Broadwick Street, in the Soho district of the City of Westminster, part of the West End of London, and dates back to the 1870s.

It is named for the British epidemiologist and anaesthetist John Snow, who identified the nearby water pump as the source of a cholera outbreak in 1854.

[2] It was built at the site of the water pump found by John Snow to have been the origin of a local cholera outbreak in 1854.

[4][5] The pub sign was unveiled in May 1955 by president of the Epidemiology and Public Health section of the Royal Society of Medicine, Sir Austin Bradford Hill.

[8] The original site of the pump is represented by a pink curb stone outside the pub's side door.
