Was this lively corner always so peaceful? Imagine this: It’s 1883 and the air buzzes with the shouts of footballers. They’re playing right here on the field behind Ye Olde Cherry Tree! This historic pub, built around 1695, has witnessed centuries of life in Southgate. Its walls, composed of materials from the 17th to 19th centuries, could tell tales of skittles games and meetings of the Loyal Britain society in the early 1800s. The pub, originally known simply as “The Cherry Tree,” has seen its share of changes, expansions, and even a name upgrade. Today, it stands as a testament to time, a Grade II listed building holding court at the corner of The Green and The Mall. As you enjoy a drink inside, raise a toast to Edward Lomas, the very first landlord. He would be amazed to see his beloved Cherry Tree still standing strong, a cherished landmark in the heart of Southgate.
