The Pindar of Wakefield, a pub on Grays Inn Road, was in existence at least as early as 1692. An alley behind it is referred to in the 1791 record cited below and named in that dated 1822. It is listed in Lockie's Topography (1810) as "Pindar - Passage, Gray's-Inn-Lane,—8 doors S. of Britannia-st."[1]
