The Viaduct Tavern

Across the road from the Old Bailey this pub has aged well, plenty of original features to enjoy once inside, although it's a lot smaller then it looks from the street. Built in 1875 this is the last example of a vitorian gin palace and is reputedly haunted by a murdered prostitue. Some of the clientel look like they were waiting to pop over for their case to be heard! The tavern is built on the site of the sheriff's prison demolished in 1855, in the cell there are five original prison cells from when it was a house of correction.
