London: There is a pub called ‘The Coach and Horses’ on Bratton Street in Mayfair, Central London. The narrow pub only has room for five tables inside. And there is space for people to stand at the front.

This pub is one of the oldest buildings on this street. Another feature of the pub is its medieval English architecture. This pub was first licensed in 1738. Before the UK’s railways began in the 1770s, the pub was an inn for those traveling by horse and carriage. This is the reason behind the pub’s name.

The innkeepers had put up advertisements outside with pictures of horse-drawn carts. But this pub has something else special. It is a story about a strange incident that happened in the 18th century. Once a man came here in a cart pulled by four horses.

The man who drove the horse-drawn cart had no head. ! Not to be outdone, the passengers inside the horse-drawn carriage had skull-like faces and were staring out of the horse-drawn carriage’s hatch.

It was only when people came closer that the horseman had no head. It is said that many people have seen this chariot many times. No one knows the truth behind the story. It is generally said that it was a myth invented by the owners to gain attention because there were so many pubs. There are many pubs in London today called Coach and Horses.
