The Cittie of Yorke is a historic pub. Now owned by the Samuel Smith Old Brewery, this grade II listed establishment has been serving patrons since the 1430s. Although the current building dates back to the 1920s, it boasts unique features like Henneky's long bar and Victorian-style cubicles. The pub holds a special place in history, with Welsh poet Dylan Thomas even penning a poem about it in 1951. It's a must-visit spot for those looking to experience a piece of London's pub culture with a touch of literary charm.
