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.
