The Seven Stars / Carey Street

The Great Fire missed this building, so it's possible that the sign's claim that the public house was established in 1602 is accurate. According to its Grade II listing, it was formerly known as The Log and Seven Stars. Another source gives the original name as The League of Seven Stars — after the seven provinces of the Netherlands — there being Dutch sailors and settlers in this area in the C17th. London Borough of Camden.
