Ye Olde Cock Tavern originally dates back to 1549 and is well known for the pub with the narrowest frontage of any London pub. It is opposite Temple Church which was made famous in Dan Brown’s book “The Da Vinci Code”. Dating from 1549 (and on this site since 1887) this pub has hosted Pepys, Dickens and Dr Johnson. Historical pub in London. Under new ownership and now fully restored and open for business. All new Gin Lounge upstairs and two Shuffleboards.
