EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of the Oporto pub in Holborn, London, as it looked in the 1960s. The image captures the classic exterior of the public house, with its distinctive red and white tiled facade and ornate signage. The pub, which was then known as the Oporto under the Charrington and Company Limited, has undergone several name changes over the years, including Rudy's Revenge and Bar Oporto, before being taken over by Craft Beer Co. in more recent times. Located in the heart of London's legal district, the Oporto has been a popular watering hole for locals and visitors alike for over half a century. The area around Holborn is steeped in history, with its grand Victorian architecture and bustling streets, making the Oporto a charming and authentic addition to the scene. This photograph, taken in 1961, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and a pint at the local pub was a simple pleasure. The Oporto's enduring charm and rich history continue to draw in patrons, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the vibrant and diverse culture of London.
