Ye Olde Mitre T-Shirt - A Taste of Tudor London
Product Description:
Step back in time with our exclusive Ye Olde Mitre pub t-shirt. This design celebrates one of London's best-kept secrets, a historic pub with a rich and fascinating past. The back of the shirt features a striking, detailed graphic of a bishop's mitre and a bearded figure, flanked by the motto: "REVEL LIKE A BISHOP, DRINK LIKE A KING." The vintage-inspired artwork and elegant script text "ye olde mitre" and "LONDON" capture the timeless charm of this hidden gem.
The Story Behind the Shirt:
Ye Olde Mitre is a true historical landmark, tucked away down a narrow alleyway between Holborn and Hatton Garden. It's so well hidden that many Londoners don't even know it exists! The pub's history dates back to 1546, when it was originally built for the servants of the Bishops of Ely. This direct link to the Bishop of Ely is where the pub gets its name, and a cherry tree in the pub's front yard is rumored to have been planted by Queen Elizabeth I herself!
The pub is one of the few places in London that still feels genuinely untouched by time, with its original timber frame and cozy, low-ceilinged rooms. Its secluded location is thanks to the fact that it was originally only accessible via the alleyway from Hatton Garden, which was part of the Bishop of Ely's estate. The pub's unique charm, from its beautiful Tudor exterior to its rich history, makes it a beloved spot for those who seek out London's authentic past.
Perfect for:
History buffs and fans of historic London pubs.
Anyone who loves unique and stylish London-themed apparel.
A great gift for a friend or family member who appreciates a good story and a great pint.
Wear a piece of hidden London history and share the story of one of the city's most treasured pubs with this exclusive t-shirt.
