The famous "Old Fighting Cock" pub in the UK has recently announced its closure.
This bistro in north London was built in the 11th century AD and has experienced several plagues, wars and economic crises.
The owner of the tavern recently posted a "Closing Notice" on Facebook, saying that the industry has experienced an "unprecedented" business environment in the past two years, and the staff have tried their best to make a profit. Having made ends meet, we had to reluctantly close the store.
However, the "Old Fighting Cock" pub will not be closed permanently, and the current owner is still actively looking for the next place to take over.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, cockfighting was popular in the local area, hence the name of the tavern.
Because of its long history, the pub was once named "England's oldest pub" by the Guinness Book of World Records.
