This authentic 1950s colour photograph provides an evocative close-up of The Tiger Tavern, which stood at the corner of Lower Thames Street and Tower Hill. The image captures the pub’s unique historical inscriptions, including the gold-lettered claim that the establishment was “Honoured by Queen Elizabeth the First.” A traditional hanging pub sign, featuring a golden tiger and the date 1500, is supported by an ornate wrought-iron bracket. The brickwork of the 1893 building is visible, adorned with window boxes containing yellow spring daffodils. This building famously survived the Second World War but was eventually demolished in 1963 to facilitate the redevelopment of the Tower Hill area. This archival print is a significant piece of visual history for researchers of London’s lost public houses or anyone looking to print a distinctive piece of vintage London wall art.
