This is my first reading of the earlier part of the diary and I find it interesting that Pepys' comrades and drinking pals at this point are rarely the same ones he hangs out with just a few years later, showing his social and economic rise. He leaves most of these lads behind with the common throng.
Some of the earlier links above to online versions of Evelyn's diary are now dead. The only one I could find (9/2021) is the Project Gutenberg version of a 1901 edition, https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4…
There's still (2021) a Three Tuns in London at 1 Portman Mews South. As a young and impecunious graduate student I ate regularly at the Three Tuns in Panton Street off Haymarket which served incredibly bad food at incredibly low prices, and in large quantities. I suspect there's always been a Three Tuns somewhere in London,
The street had the name before the court of Chancery had any prominence. It was "Chancellor's Lane," and the office of the Chancery was at "The Rolls," the former "Domus Conversorum" or "House of [Jewish] Converts." The site is now the library of King's College, formerly the Public Record Office. Lincoln's Inn is across the street, where it moved about 1420 from Holborn.
