Alas, it proves I’m not AI. 😉 VIDEO SUMMARY We start our tour at the iconic Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, and learn about its pronunciation before discovering poor Polly, stuffed and mounted after imitating too many champagne corks in the roaring ‘20s. We talk about some naughty Georgian plaster casts found in the walls before heading down the street to the Viaduct Tavern gin palace, venturing into the cellar to discover its old jail cells, possible connected to the Old Bailey. Next, we make our way to Dirty Dicks – stop giggling! It’s named for an old hoarder known for collecting dirty old bits like mummified cats – he was even written about by Charles Dickens! We open a whole can of worms there, with tons of mummified cat trivia as we swing up to Highgate to talk about the now-closed Whittington and Cat pub. We head to Bloomsbury to see the stopped clock at the Dolphin Tavern, levelled by a German Zeppelin attack during the First World War, and then make our way to the river to skulk through the divey pubs of Wapping. We gaze at the old hangman’s noose at the Prospect of Whitby and reminisce about the execution dock and Captain Kidd. Heading further north, we swing by the Widow’s Son, known to all as the Bun House for its peculiar tradition of hanging a hot cross bun from the rafters every Good Friday, and learn that there’s another pub in Essex that does the same! Finally, we sneak into The Tower of London and see the executioner’s axe on display at The Keys, the ultra-private Yeoman Warder’s club. 0:00 - Introduction to the Tour Like The Museum Guide on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/themuseumguide You should really join the London Urban Oddities Facebook group to submit your favourite weird places in London. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2037408773114764 Hana Elvy creates my thumbnails – you can hire her to make your YouTube thumbnails here: https://www.peopleperhour.com/hourlie/design-youtube-thumbnail/856969 [b-tgvjm5M6A] |
