According to "Tavern and Tokens of Pepys' London" by George Berry, the Salutation Tavern was in what is now Lower Monument Street. It was an old and prosperous tavern, probably the most important one in the area.
There was some bad verse about it in the Elizabethan broadsheet "News from Bartholomew Fair": "There hath been great sale and utterance of wine,
Besides beer and ale and ipocras fine,
In every county, region and nation,
But chiefly in Billingsgate at the Salutation."
