...absorb some culture at the museum...
	MUSEUM TAVERN	LONDON WC1B 3BA	49 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury
	Visitors to the British Museum, who have absorbed enough culture, would do well to visit the Museum Tavern across the street. Here they a can absorb culture of a different kind, including some real ales and fish and chips. © All contents copyright pubs.com	In the early eighteenth century a pub called the Dog & Duck stood here, its name reflecting the hunting that took place on the surrounding swamps and ponds. The British Museum was built in the 1760's and the pub changed its name to suit. The pub was expanded in 1855 and much of what we see today dates from then or a little later. Although the partitions that divided Victorian drinkers have gone, much of the carved wooden fittings and etched and cut glass remain. Photo gallery
