Yes, by the Odeon. But I wouldn't bet on there being much of the original tavern left. Like my grandfather's axe - 8 new handles, 4 new blades, but it's still my grandfather's original axe!

In 1826, Sir Henry Samuel Eyre of the Eyre Estate launched a Turnpike Trust to help pay for the construction of the Finchley Road from Regent�s Park to Ballard�s Lane, one of the most imposing highways of its time. Amongst the first buildings by the Junction Road Toll Gate was a Swiss-style tavern originally called Swiss Cottage which gave the area its name, and now known as Ye Olde Swiss Cottage.
