Ye Olde Cock Tavern is a Grade II listed public house at 22 Fleet Street, London EC4.[1] It is part of the Taylor Walker Pubs group.

Originally built before the 17th century, it was rebuilt, including the interior (which is thought to include work by carver Grinling Gibbons),[2] on the other side of the road in the 1880s when a branch of the Bank of England was built where it stood.[2][3] However, in the 1990s a fire broke out and destroyed many of the original ornaments, and the building has since gone through a restoration using photographs.[2]

It has been frequented by Samuel Pepys, Alfred Tennyson and Charles Dickens.[4]
