From the Kentish Gazette, June 21, 1796. Kindly sent from Alec Hasenson.

Advert for an auction of sundry goods, to be held at the London Inn, in Dover, on 30th June.

 

This one wasn't in Barry Smith's list, but was kindly sent to me from Alec Hasenson. So far this is the only mention I have of the "London Inn" and I'm afraid I have no address. I do know of a "London Packet" at Commercial Quay/Strond Street and a "London Tavern" at Market Place, but this one pre-dates both of those. However, it could well be referring to the "City of London Hotel."

Just found, the following references to a "London Hotel." I am adding the passage below to this page assuming it to be one and the same, but I could be wrong.

After further research I now believe the "London Hotel/London Inn" was addressed at Council House Street and is actually the "City of London."
