The London Apprentice

The London Apprentice is a Grade II* listed public house at 62 Church Street, Isleworth, London.[1]

The present building dates to the early 18th century, recorded as a licensed inn by 1731.[2] The pub overlooks Isleworth Stairs, established in the reign of Henry VIII for the ferry connecting Richmond Palace with the north bank of the Thames.[3] It was from Isleworth Stairs that the Nine Day Queen, Lady Jane Grey, boarded the Royal Barge on 9 July 1553 to accept the throne as Queen of England, only to be imprisoned in the Tower 9 days later.[4]
