1. Old Elephant and Castle, Newington Butts (Sepia).
The famous tavern so named is situated about a mile south of London Bridge, at a place where several important roads meet. In the coaching days it was passed by every traveller going south-east from London, and it is now a well-known halting station for omnibuses and tramcars. A writer in a famous publication has asserted that this was the house referred to by Shakespeare, as follows:—
"In the South Suburbs, at the Elephant,
Is best to lodge."—Twelfth Night; Act iii., Sc. 3.
