The Spice of Life is a pub at Cambridge Circus in London's Charing Cross Road. The pub was founded as The George & Thirteen Cantons [1] in or before 1759, [2] and later became The Scots Hoose. By 1975 it had been renamed The Spice of Life. [3]
As the Scots Hoose in the 1950s and 1960s, the pub had one of Britain's most celebrated folk clubs in its upstairs room, [4] run by Bruce Dunnet, [5] that featured some of the greatest names of the folk revival, such as Bert Jansch, Al Stewart, Davey Graham, Ralph McTell, Roy Harper, [6] Sandy Denny, [7] Ewan MacColl [8] and The Young Tradition. [5] The club operated under various names, including "The Young Tradition". [3]
