“A pint of your finest ale, if you please!” boomed a voice from a bygone era. We may not hear those exact words echoing through the Green Man today, but this Putney pub has certainly seen centuries of stories unfold. Established back in 1700, the Green Man wasn’t always known by this name. Its roots go back to a time when a hearty mutton pie could be snagged for a single farthing, earning it the name “Farthing Pie House”. Imagine, a time when London’s urban sprawl hadn’t yet reached this corner, and fields and gardens surrounded this very spot. Artists and writers, the likes of William Blake, found solace within these walls. The air hummed with the melodies of fiddles and perhaps even the rhythmic beat of a salt-box played as a musical instrument. The Green Man, with its rich history, stands as a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of London. Cheers to that!
