There has been an Angel pub at Bermondsey since at least the 17thC. The current building opened in around 1830, and during the 19thC was surrounded by industrial buildings and slum housing. Artists including Augustus John and James McNeil Whistler have made paintings from here.
This Victorian building is a striking link to Southwark's brewing and trading past, although it never really fulfilled its original purpose. Read about the Hop Exchange on my blog. londonontheground.com/post/the-hop-e… #Southwark #hopexchange #victorian #victorianarchitecture #architecture
Quite the assemblage: the poet John Keats by Stuart Williamson, sitting inside one of the four remaining alcoves from old London Bridge by George Dance, in the grounds of Guy's Hospital, where Keats was a medical student; all nicely set off by a piece of carpet at his feet.
The Athenaeum Club was founded in 1824 for men with an interest in scientific and technological discoveries. The club's building on the corner of Pall Mall and Waterloo Place was designed by Decimus Burton who designed many of the grand London buildings of the Regency period.
