Mayflower London

In 1620 politicians in London and refugees in Leiden organised the voyage of the Mayflower. For trade and toleration not for war and conquest.

We’ve heard the question a lot lately: “Will Mayflower II be here for July 4th?”

The answer is YES! ⚓

Although #MayflowerII will take part in the historic Sail Boston celebrations this summer, she’ll be in Plymouth Harbor for Independence Day in America’s Hometown.

Many of the refugees fleeing England on the Mayflower and later ships were textile workers.

@LondonStone Great pub - but there is no evidence that any pub stood on the riverside in the 16th or even early 17th century, no matter what the brewery claims..!
