English: Jack Straw's Castle A very famous old Hampstead pub, overlooking the Heath and said to be the highest in London.
It was originally a coaching inn built in 1721, the pub name and location deriving from Jack Straw, who was a comrade of Wat Tyler, leader of the 1381 peasants revolt against King Richard II. 'Jack Straw' addressed groups of peasants on Hampstead Heath from a hay wagon, which at the time was known as Jack Straw's Castle.
