Built by Christopher Wren in 1668, reputedly using wood salvaged from old ships. Old-world timber-framed interior largely dates from a sympathetic 1901 refit. Now one of M&B's Nicholson pubs, attracting after-work City custom. Often standing room in the bar, there is more seating in a small room at the back. Rear courtyard.
