Sign from the Castle Tavern, 11 & 12 King St (it had many addresses while open), near Guildhall and tucked away behind an entrance to Pret A Manger. 'Such signs, made in stone or sometimes in wood, were a common sight until early Victorian times, not only in the City of London but right across the capital', and as far as I can tell, the inn stopped serving booze some time after 1899.New
A gateway beside another Inn on the edge of the City, less renowned for drinking and more for educating legal scholars.

It has a regal location in a district in London. Nearby, ceremonial functions are held for the oldest continuous democratic commune in the world.
