Cambridge's most iconic pub. As good these days as in 1667. Home of many stories: famous for the interruption of Francis crick to diners rushing in and shouting "we discovered the secret of life" when discovering the structure of the DNA and also for smoke writings on the ceiling made by soldiers to their loved ones before going to war.
