The Worlds End
The old tavern was a noted house of entertainment in the reign of Charles II. The grounds and tea gardens were extensive and it was elegantly fitted out. The house was probably called The Worlds End because of its then considerable distance from London and the bad and dangerous state of the roads leading to it. Date: 1875

The Worlds End: A Glimpse into the Past of an Elegant English Tavern, 1875 This image transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and charm, showcasing The Worlds End, an old tavern that once stood as a noted house of entertainment during the reign of Charles II. The extensive grounds and tea gardens, adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, were a haven for visitors seeking respite from their daily routines. The house itself was elegantly fitted out, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the period. Its name, The Worlds End, is believed to have originated from its considerable distance from London and the bad and dangerous state of the roads leading to it. The journey to this idyllic retreat was an adventure in itself, adding to the allure of the tavern. The image, captured in 1875, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of life were savored and enjoyed. The Worlds End served as a beacon of hospitality and entertainment, offering weary travelers a place to rest, refuel, and revel in the beauty of their surroundings. As we admire this photograph, we can't help but be captivated by the history and stories it holds. The Worlds End stands as a testament to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of nature and community were cherished.
