Established around 1700, the Green Man pub in Putney, London, has long been a focal point for locals and visitors alike. Situated on the edge of Putney Heath, the pub's location made it a popular stop for participants before and after duels on the heath. The establishment's proximity to the heath also made it a frequent haunt for highwaymen, with notorious figures like Jerry Abershawe known to frequent the area. In 1795, after Abershawe's execution, his body was displayed outside the pub, marking the last public display of a hanged highwayman. Over the centuries, the Green Man has evolved into a welcoming venue, offering hearty British cuisine and a selection of ales, all while preserving its rich historical ambiance. (en.wikipedia.org)
