Former Site of the London Tavern

The London Tavern was located on Bishopsgate Street at the former site of the White Lion Tavern (Timbs 274). Constructed in 1768 and demolished in 1873, the London Tavern now occupies the address of Nos. 1-3 Bishopsgate, Cornhill, Bishopsgate, London. Currently, this site is the location of a branch of the HSBC bank (“London Tavern”). During the 18th century, however, Bishopsgate Street and surrounding regions were popular areas for coaching inns where travelers could stop prior to the popularization of railroads.
