Ye Olde Cock Tavern

Ye Olde Cock Tavern is a Grade II listed public house at 22 Fleet Street, London EC4.

[2][3] Shortly before the destruction in 1886, the dining room was captured in a lithograph by Philip Norman.

However, in the 1990s a fire broke out and destroyed many of the original ornaments, and the building has since gone through a restoration using photographs.

[4] It was frequented by Samuel Pepys, Alfred Tennyson, Andrew Newitt and Charles Dickens.

[5] The Olde Cocke has also become the meeting place for the world's oldest free speech society, or debating club, Cogers on each second Monday of the month.
