The London Apprentice Pub, 62 Church Street, Old Isleworth, London.

The London Apprentice Pub, 62 Church Street, Old Isleworth, London. by Jim Linwood.
London Apprentice is a traditional pub dating back to Tudor times. It is situated on the River Thames close to Twickenham Rugby Ground and Syon Park. The pub first opened in 1731 and used to be kept open all night for people travelling on the river. Oliver Cromwell, Henry VIII and Charles II are all believed to have visited. The name London Apprentice is said to come from the apprentices working at London's livery companies who used to row out to Isleworth in colourful barges during their free time. The pub's interior reflects this history with it's beamed ceilings, rugby and rowing memorabilia plus the walls covered in photographs of the local area.

Featured in Decoy, a 1959 episode of the H.G.Wells' Invisible Man TV series.
