If you’re in London I’d thoroughly recommend a drink in the Jamaica Wine House - it’s a pub in the square mile that used to be a coffee house from 1652. It’s an amazing place to see - you can really feel the age and history of the place. https://londonspubswherehistoryreallyhappened.wordpress.com/...

One of the entrances has a big stone along the bottom of the door and worn down over the years.
Love it. Every time I step on I can almost feel the history of the place.
City of London is amazing because of its mix of old and new, I used to work near the Jamaica Wine House and we would often go there for drinks after work. It's too bad the beer selection there is not great tho.

There is a reason it is called wine house and not beer house.
Recent BBC doc on slavery mentioned the place as the hub for doing deals on humans. So there's that to consider too as you drink in the history.
