#YeOldeCheshireCheese is a #Medieval pub & one of London’s last 17th CE chophouses, serving traditional cuts of meat. Once a 13th CE #Carmelite monastery, the #FleetStreet site turned into a pub in 1538. Rebuilt in 1667 after the #GreatFireofLondon, this #GradeIIListed historic gem retains its original timber beam layout, to be one of the oldest & most famous pubs in the world.
