Ye Olde Watling / EC4
"Ye Olde Watling public house claims to have been built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668 to house those workers rebuilding St Paul's Cathedral, following the Great Fire of London in 1666. The pub was constructed from the straight lengths of brine-pickled timber from old ships which were sold cheaply to builders." [Source: P.H. plaque]. However the building seen today is dated by the City of London Corporation as early C19th, of stock brick and timber. Watling Street, City of London.
