The Ship Tavern, Gate Street 1990s

Tucked away behind Holborn tube station, just off Lincoln’s Inn Fields, The Ship Tavern is one of London’s most atmospheric and historically rich pubs. Located at 12 Gate Street, it’s a place where centuries of intrigue, rebellion, and tradition are soaked into the dark oak beams and flickering candlelight. First established in 1549, The Ship Tavern has survived the tumults of English history, from religious persecution and civil unrest to bombing raids and urban redevelopment.
