Freemasons Arms, London

The Freemasons Arms at 81 - 82 Longacre, in London's Covent Garden, is the place where the first meeting of the FA was held, and where the rules of football were first officially drawn up. The meeting was held on the 26th of October 1863. The pub doesn't seem to make a big fuss about it's history, but the original rules can still be seen on the wall, along with a picture of Bobby Moore holding up the World Cup.

 

The pub would be a good place for a football enthusiast to have lunch while visiting all the other better known sites of London which are close by.
