Cittie of Yorke

About

The Cittie of Yorke is a Grade II listed public house located on High Holborn in the heart of London’s Camden district. With origins tracing back to 1430, the site has hosted several well‑known pubs over the centuries, but the current façade is a 1920s reconstruction that still preserves key historical elements such as Henneky’s long bar, a late‑Georgian triangular metal stove, and Victorian‑style cubicles. Owned and operated by Samuel Smith Old Brewery, the pub is recognised on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, underscoring its architectural and cultural significance. Patrons are drawn to the classic British pub atmosphere, the extensive selection of real ales, and a menu that caters to diverse dietary preferences, including gluten‑free, vegan, and vegetarian options. Its location just off the main thoroughfare of High Holborn makes it a convenient stop for both locals and tourists exploring the nearby Theatre District and historic sites of London.
