The Tipperary, Grade II listed Irish pub in Fleet Street, City of London, England.
Description
The Tipperary is a Grade II listed Irish pub located in Fleet Street between the River Thames and the buried Fleet stream that flows beneath the building. The three-story stone structure with brick details features a ground floor bar area and upper floors traditionally fitted with period furnishings.
History
Originally built as the Boars Head in 1605, the structure survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 while surrounding buildings burned. This survival makes it one of the few remaining timber-framed stone buildings from that era in this part of the city.
Culture
The establishment took its current name in 1918 when returning printers renamed it after the popular wartime song It's a Long Way to Tipperary. This name choice reflects the connection between the building's past as a gathering place for printing workers and Irish cultural references.
Practical
The pub opens Monday through Friday from 11am to 11:30pm, Saturday until midnight, and Sunday from noon until 10:30pm. Visit outside peak hours after work if you prefer a less crowded experience, as it tends to fill with City workers during the late afternoon.
Did you know?
A traditional dumb waiter system continues to operate between floors, a working relic from the building's past. The sloped floor surfaces inside also tell a story of age and settlement over the centuries.
