THE PINEAPPLE

I first learned about this pub from a book I read called Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier, set in the times of Philip Astley (1742–1814), a riding instructor, horse-trainer, and was acknowledged as the inventor of the modern day circus.

This pub is on the end corner of  the historical Hercules Road which is mostly well known for a former resident, the poet and visionary artist William Blake (1757–1827), who lived in a large house, number  13 Hercules Buildings, and his address was Mr. Blake Engraver, Hercules Buildings, Westminster Bridge

In 2015 when my family visited London I took my step son to visit The Pineapple  and had a nice lunch of fish and chips
