5 März 1652 Jahr - FIRST COFFEEHOUSE IN ENGLAND

Beschreibung:

The first coffeehouse opens in England, but women were not allowed in, other than to serve men. A number of British women wrote a lengthy petition (now in the coffee museum, London) requesting access. They were refused.

Edward Lloyd's coffeehouse opens in 1688. It evolves to be the Lloyd's of London, the world's best known insurance company.
The word “TIPS” is coined in a London coffee house: A sign reading “To Insure Prompt Service” (TIPS) was place by a coffee cup. Those desiring prompt service and better seating threw a coin into a mug.
