Old Bell, Grade II listed pub in Fleet Street, London, United Kingdom.
The Old Bell occupies a prominent corner location at 95 Fleet Street, featuring a central circular bar and large fireplace within its historic walls.
The structure, dating from 1678, was built by Sir Christopher Wren to house stone masons working on the reconstruction of St Bride's Church after the Great Fire.
During Fleet Street's newspaper era, the Old Bell became a regular gathering place for journalists who made the pub their primary social establishment.
The establishment remains open daily except Saturday and Sunday evenings, with food service starting at lunchtime under Nicholson Brewery management.
In 1951, a barmaid discovered classified documents about a code-breaking facility left behind by journalist Eric Tullett, leading to government intervention.
