I can't believe I was unaware of this when I visited London. Gotta make sure I visit this place if I ever return.
Related question, I wonder what the oldest continuously operating establishment in the world is? 🤔
Like one of the other replies said, it’s a Japanese company. There’s even a neat Wikipedia list
I'll have to investigate. Even though some of them are impressively old, it doesn't quite give the same sensation as the post here when a lot of them have completely overhauled their buildings or changed owners. I want to find like, the oldest continuously operating family business that's using the same location/building as originally.
Ngl it's probably in japan too. They're Into that sorta stuff.
Something in Japan I think. A tea house or some kind of lodging business I think.
Ah. Sure. That would make sense.
