Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is one of a number of pubs in London to have been rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. There has been a pub at this location since 1538.
Some of the interior wood panelling is nineteenth century, some older, perhaps original!
Its upper room was used as a brothel in the mid-eighteenth century.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese was also associated with an African grey parrot named Polly. The popularity of Polly was perhaps down to her ability to speak obscenities, with "f**k the Kaiser" being a rumoured favourite.
