CROSS KEYS INN

   1) On the south side of Holborn, in Farringdon Ward Without, east of Fetter Lane (O. and M. 1677).

   The site has been rebuilt.

   2) On the west side of Wood Street, at No. 128 (O. and M. 1677-Lockie 1816). In Cripplegate Ward Within.

   Had a good trade in Strype's time (ed. 1720, I. iii. 91).

   Cross Keys Alley, Court and Stairs are mentioned in the parish register of St. Peter's Wood Street, probably on or near this site (Trans. L. and M. Arch. Soc. III. 341).

   The Crossed Keys are the well-known emblems of St. Peter, and would readily be adopted as a tavern sign especially for a house near to a church.

   The site is now occupied by warehouses and offices, etc.
