Travelling along Fleet St, London on the top floor of a double decker bus I got to see the top, bottom and sides of this narrow pub. I think the Dickens and Dr Johnson quotes quite appropriate at this time of the Pandemic

Ye Olde Cock Tavern
22 Fleet Street, London
Dating back 1549 and on this site since 1887, this pub has hosted, Pepys, Dickens and Dr Johnson

Pepys kept a daily diary
Quotes
Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.

Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends

Dickens wrote
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Dr Samuel Johnson wrote
When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life. "Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
