A bit of history
Said to be first mentioned in 1721 as a coaching inn on the road north out of London, the Bull & Last burnt down and was rebuilt in 1883. The earliest date we found in a pub-history database is by 1820.

Stories & legends
- Local legend: The story goes that coachmen heading north from London shouted "The Bull, and last!" as they neared the pub, the final stop before the open road, and that this gave it its name. It is told as a supposed explanation, and we found no record to back it. Source: e-architect, 'The Bull and Last, North London'; Top 50 Gastropubs write-up
- Disputed: The pub is said to be first mentioned in 1721 as a coaching inn, but the earliest date we found in a pub-history database is by 1820, and we couldn't trace the 1721 record. The pub's own rooms page credits a proprietor, Henry Gotto, with rebuilding it as it stands today (1883 in e-architect).
