London, Mayfair. Licensed in 1688, rebuilt in 1878 and 1958. Built on the site of the former Clarendon House, home of the Lord Chancellor to Charles II. In his will dated 1735, freeholder Matthew Tomlinson bequeathed an annual sum from the rental of the site for clothing poor men and women from the parishes, and this continued for more than 200 years. Former customers include Lord Nelson, and in the Edwardian era the smoking room upstairs was a favorite rendezvous for senior naval officers. A cozy one room pub complete with the typical dark wood bar with checkered tiles in front. And you have to love the golden goat above the door at the entrance! A Greene King pub, the IPA was my beer of choice.
