1. Title: A Bygone Corner of 18th Century London - Garraways Coffee House, Change Alley, Cornhill 2.. Step back in time with this evocative image of Garraways Coffee House in the heart of 18th century London. Nestled in the narrow, winding alleyway of Change Alley, off Cornhill in the City, this historic coffee house was a popular gathering place for merchants, traders, and gentlemen of the time. The scene captures the essence of a bustling urban life, with people hurrying about their business on the cobblestone street, while others linger outside the coffee house, engaged in animated conversation. The ornate, red-brick building with its ornate signboard and large, arched windows stands proudly at the corner, a beacon of warmth and hospitality. Change Alley, named for the currency exchange that once thrived there, was a vibrant and diverse part of the City of London, teeming with activity. Garraways Coffee House, with its inviting atmosphere and prime location, was an integral part of this rich tapestry of 18th century urban life. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the lively banter of the coffee house patrons, the clatter of horse hooves on the cobblestones, and the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bygone era, a testament to the enduring allure of London's storied past. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to present this rare and evocative glimpse into 18th century London, allowing us to relive a moment in time and appreciate the history and character that has shaped our great city.
