A Victorian Meeting Place​
Public houses in Stoke Newington served as venues for a variety of social activities. Four establishments, including the Londesborough, held billiard licences in 1879. Almost all the friendly societies convened at taverns, as there were no other secular meeting places apart from coffee houses in the mid-18th century and assembly rooms by the 19th century.
​
The Pride of Stoke Newington met at the Londesborough Tavern from 1860 to 1864. By around 1870, there were approximately 25 taverns and beer shops in Stoke Newington and the detached portions of South Hornsey. Many were located at the corners of newly built roads, despite opposition from groups such as nonconformist Sunday schools and abstinence associations.
​
During the 1960s, the Londesborough was among the pubs frequented by the notorious
Kray Twins
