About Dolphin Tavern

The Silver Cross Tavern is a pub on Whitehall in London, England. It was first opened as a licensed pub in 1674. The building had been an establishment at that location since the 13th century. It has been argued to be the only theoretically legal brothel in the country, on the grounds that a 17th-century royal licence on the building was never revoked.

On the show

It's the Dolphin Tavern, and it's not far from our offices in Covent Garden, it's up in Holborn. The initial pub that was built on the site was bombed to the ground on the 8th of September 1915. It was completely destroyed, rubble everywhere, and they decided to rebuild it.
