General Information

Coming to Ye Old Mitre is like trying to find the Leaky Cauldron from ‘Harry Potter’, blink and you’ll miss it. It’s hidden down an alleyway between 8 and 9 Hatton Garden, marked by an old crooked street lamp and a small sign. Despite these clues many people who work in the area don’t know it exists.

Additional Information

The original tavern was built in 1547 for the servants of the Palace of the Bishops of Ely. Both the palace and the pub were demolished in 1772, although the pub was soon rebuilt. Once you’re inside the pub, don’t forget to read the proper history that’s on the plaque.
