Inns and Taverns of Old London
1909
Published in 1909, 'Inns and Taverns of Old London' by Henry C. Shelley offers a historical exploration of the inns, taverns, coffee-houses, and pleasure gardens that characterized London from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The book highlights the cultural and literary significance of these establishments, particularly focusing on Southwark, known for its historic inns. Shelley details the role these venues played in the social life of the city, including the famous Tabard Inn, which served as the starting point for Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales.' This work serves as a valuable resource for understanding the vibrant history of London's hospitality scene.
