Great Tower Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great Tower Street is a street in the City of London. It forms an eastward continuation of Eastcheap and leads towards Tower Hill. On the corner with Tower hill is the historic church of All Hallows-by-the-Tower. A public house called the Czar's Head used to stand at No. 48, so named because Peter the Great used to drink there when he was learning ship building at Deptford (Weinreb and Hibbert 1983: 331).
