PRINCIPAL LONDON COFFEE-HOUSES
TAVERNS AND INNS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
THE following tables give at a glance the localities of the more frequented chocolate- houses, coffee-houses, taverns and inns that flourished in or near London during the eighteenth century. Only such clubs are included as possessed premises of their own. The references in the fourth column indicate often in abbreviated form, where detailed information relative to each house may be sought. The date of the reference, where ascertainable, has been prefixed. Many o: the authorities cited will be found, when
consulted, to supply further sources of in-
formation. The list is arranged alpha-
betically ; where no descriptive word follows
a title-name in the first column, " coffee-
house " is to be understood. To the
remainder, " chocolate-house," " tavern,"
or " inn " is appended in accordance with
the nature of the " entertainment " that was
offered. It is hoped the compilation may
be of occasional assistance to those engaged
in eighteenth-century studies. The follow-
ing abbreviations have been employed to
economise space :
