<item title="By Bus">
<p>Numbers: 8, 25, 242, 501 and 521 pass the Penderel's Oak on High Holborn.</p>
<p>Many more go down Theobolds Road (19, 38, 55), Kingsway (1, 59, 68, 91, 168, 171, 188, 243, X68) and Gray's Inns Road (17, 45, 46, 341), all of which are about 10 minutes' walk from the pub.</p>
</item>
<item title="Info">
<p>We tend to meet in the Cellar Bar, in the, erm, cellar, if we can as it has more space.</p>
<p>This used to be the standard meeting place for all social occasions, and is still used occasionally.</p>
<p>Bar food is available in the evenings.</p>
<p>The pub gets its name from the oak tree belonging to a
17th-century nobleman called Richard Penderel, which stood in the estate
of his country home, Boscobel. On May 29th, 1652, King Charles I,
fleeing from execution by Oliver Cromwell's troops, was given shelter in
it by Penderel and successfully avoided being killed. This led to May
the 29th becoming the traditional English celebration known as Oak Apple
Day.</p>
