Back

For 600 years, from 1259 to the 1850s, the #Hanseatic League of Baltic traders owned a piece of prime London waterfront. They initially took it by perhaps medieval cannon-based influence and finally sold off to a #railway. Cannon Street railway station still sits there. It's likely one of the first places hoppy beer could be tasted in England.
