#13 Done. Enjoyed the gloomy charm and a pint at the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in London. It’s been around since just after the great fire in 1666. Oliver Goldsmith, Mark Twain, Alfred Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dr. Samuel Johnson are all said to have been ‘regulars’. The Cheshire Cheese Pub is famously alluded to in Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities: followingCharles Darnay’s acquittal on charges of high treason, Sydney Carton invites him to dine, “drawing his arm through his own” Sydney leads him to Fleet Street “up a covered way, into a tavern … where Charles Darnay was soon recruiting his strength with a good plain dinner and good wine”.
