The King's Head was the name of many taverns in England, referred to from the 16th century on. One famous King's Head was in Southwark, an area that featured a competing establishment called The Queen's Head. Another King's Head inn at the corner of Chancery Lane, dating from the time of Edward VI, was the residence of Izaak Walton and appears in all his illustrated editions of his book The Compleat Anger, which he advertised to be "sold at his shopp in Fleet Street; under the King's Head tavern." Perhaps the oddest story connected to a King's Head establishment was regarding the tavern adjacent to Stationers Hall Court, accessed through a doorway that passersby would scarcely glance at. Through the door was "a long passage, at the end of which was a roomy tavern with quaint corners, and originally known by the sign of the 'King's Head', at which time it was a fashionable coffee and chop-house. At the beginning of the 19th century the famous fat man, Daniel Lambert, took up his lodgings at this house, and here he held public receptions, at which visitors, for a modest fee, might look upon his fifty-two stone (728 lbs.) of human flesh. For years after Lambert had departed this life his portrait in oils hung upon the tavern walls, and his walking-stick was also preserved as a curiosity" (Hackwood, 1909). Charles Dickens (in Household Words, vol. 12, 1855) writes that pleasure gardens and music halls had to be licensed in London in the last half of the 18th century, a license which had to be renewed annually at the Middlesex quarter sessions (although theatres such as Drury Lane, Covent Garden and the Opera House were exempt, as they had special crown-licenses).
