London historical street directories and pub history
Here are a considerable number of historical directories of London publicans, beer houses, hotel, coffee houses etc.; and another more interesting page of London pub history describing a London historical pub site which I have been attempting to build for nearly twenty years. In this site, I also include all of Middlesex and Essex, and now includes parts of Kent and Surrey etc which are now parts of London. See the navigation menus.
- In 1666 was the Great Fire of London which devastated nearly the whole of the city of London and its many churches. A number of very famous men exist in history, including Samuel Pepys, Isaac Newton, Christopher Wren and also the almost unknown, Robert Hooke who rebuilt most of London being the London City Architect.
