the 'Bucket of Blood' because of all the fights that broke out in it. It was
also one of Charles Dickens' favorite spots on his pub crawls."

Following up to Richard

I am looking to visit the best places in London to see some pre 1666
streets and buildings? Anyone have any suggestions? Your help is
always appreciated.

i'll start with the White Tower of the Tower of London. There is
a database of buildings visibly dated nnnn. I'll try and find it.
