The pub where Lenin met Stalin - London

The Crown Tavern pub near Clerkenwell was built in the early 19th century. The pub is considered the place where Lenin, the leader of the Russian Revolution, and Stalin met for the first time. Officially, Lenin first met Stalin in Finland in 1905 but it’s reckoned that they actually first met at a meeting in the Crown Tavern pub in 1903 when Stalin came to the United Kingdom to study Bolshevism. This legend is disputed by many, but it is known for sure that there are many attractions associated with the Bolsheviks in London. For example, young Stalin stayed at The Tower House, an inexpensive hotel that served as a shelter for fugitives from all over the world.
