The Castle Tavern was one of high repute.
The Clockmaker's Company, from their establishment in 1631, having no hall, held their meeting at some tavern in the City. Their last meeting before the fire was held August 20, at the Castle Tavern, in Fleet Street, and the first meeting after, on October 8, 1666, at the Crown Tavern, in Smithfield.
After the fire, the Castle Tavern was rebuilt.
