The Red Lion, Stoke Newington Church Street, #London.
An image of old pub tokens from #Hackney public-houses dating from 1830. They were usually struck in brass, or copper or white metal, and had a diameter of 28 mm. A key use for tokens (among other reasons) was to prevent staff pocketing money/change. Notice they even have little holes, meaning they were once worn on a belt (made of string).

The Bow Bells public house at 116 Bow Rd, #Bow, #London, #E3 is symbolic for several reasons. Firstly, it's one of the few surviving pubs (that actually look like pubs) along Bow Road, never mind the area altogether. The pubs name references the Bell that if one could hear ring from ones place of birth, made one an official cockney. Nowadays, you've no chance of hearing The Church of St Mary-le-Bow which is located in the City of #London. Between traffic and other forms of noise pollution, you'll barely hear the bells when nearby. Today, people pass this pub with little idea of its physical and metaphorical significance to east #London and to #England as a whole. I'd like to wish it all the luck in the world. This pub, like so many others, is going to need it. Visible, are the words to the nursery rhyme, which is still played on the Bells of St Mary-le-Bow. @VinnieSullivan

Hidden within the City of #London is a charming little public house with a few points of historical interest. When considering how much of it's like we've lost, it's clear that its very presence is as vital as understanding its past. Instead of embracing the many modern forms of entertainment that we consistently see popping up, I wish and hope you'll visit and appreciate such establishments while we still can. 🤝
