Fulham. Built at the Northern end of the original Putney Bridge, it's first license was granted in 1629, making it the oldest pub in Fulham. It was originally called the Blue Anchor, then The Anchor, and finally the Eight Bells in 1854. The old bridge was replaced in 1886 on a different alignment and traffic no longer passed the pub and they were compensated for their loss of trade. In the 1880s the Fulham Football Club used the pub a s a changing room. In 1986 Kenneth Erskine, the Hammersmith serial killer known as the Stockwell Strangler killed his final victim around the corner from the pub but any cries for help would have been drowned out by a disco going on at the pub to celebrate the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. It is also known as one of two pubs in London to serve poutine, a Quebec dish. A classic old pub with a uniquely shaped central bar, gold tinned ceiling, and lots of wooden walls covered with photos and memorabilia. I will definitely be stopping next week before and after going to the Fulham vs. Ipswich game.
