| Kings Head Chigwell |
This scene I illustrated, is possibly the most famous 'Ye Olde Kings Head' ever.
Or as I like to call it 'The Old Kings Head' in Chigwell, Essex which is said by many to be none other than the inspiration for the Maypole Inn in Charles Dickens' Barnaby Rudge.
Whether that's true (or fiction if you'll forgive the pun), it has stood relatively unchanged for hundreds of years and stands as a constant landmark in Chigwell. It now can boast an (even more?) famous owner who lives close by - our very own Lord Sugar. Beat that Charles.
Pictured at Christmas time it is one of my favourite quintessentially English Pubs.
