In 17th century #Stratford, #London, this was the site of ‘The Swan’ pub & holsterie & existed as a very vital stop for omnibus terminus, & later for coaches & trams as their final stop before entering the #CityOfLondon. The area has declined since.

A brilliant 18th Century depiction of #London's river Thames, it's north bank & the old '#cityofLondon' by Giovanni Antonio Canaletto (1697-1768). Sir Christopher Wren's St Paul's Cathedral was complete in 1710, the painting displays a recovered city, post the great fire of 1666.

The ‘Hoop & Grapes’ - 47 #Aldgate High St, Greater, #London, #EC3N

We traversed to the @HoopandGrapes_ to discuss its historical interest and importance within #London and #Britain's overall pub scene. This pub isn't simply important as a pub. It's an insight into the many buildings that once made up the #CityofLondon before the 'Great fire' of 1666. ChelseaDan5 and myself (@VinnieSullivan) were joined by the wonderful @TheWonderingEnglishman. Together, we looked at the building not only for its registered history but for the many unknown moments it must have seen. We'd like to thank the staff who were incredibly helpful, polite, and facilitating. Our view into the cellar/tunnel was very special and ensured we'll be singing the Hoops praises for years to come. We hope you'll join us on YouTube.

Thank you all for joining us, you'll find the full feature in high quality below. 🤝🍻
