Erection date: 1676

This bust was brought to our attention by Discovering London, where its claim to carry the oldest inscription in London is debunked. The bust is at third floor level in a narrow passage - don't know how we missed it.
The building was erected in 1676 and soon became the Grecian Coffee House which it remained until about 1842.
