A unique city centre pub with a rich history
Nicholson’s Pubs are known for their individual style, exciting stories, and charming personalities — and The Old Bell Tavern is certainly no exception.
Boasting a long and proud history, The Old Bell Tavern has been a licensed tavern for more than 300 years. Built by Sir Christopher Wren, it housed his masons who were rebuilding St Bride's Church after the Great Fire. It’s also located on the same street as a certain infamous villain that you may have heard of, Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Originally our pub could only be reached via an alleyway from Fleet Street, and as such we have a long association with printing as one of the first printing presses operated here around 1500. Today, we are easily accessible for all to enjoy a wide range of craft beers including the Meantime London Lager and Meantime Pale Ale, as well as an extensive range of gins and whiskys. The City of London Gin selection is a particular standout in our range… and the distillery is across the road from us.
