Thomas Slaughter established his coffee house at 74-75 St Martins Lane in 1692, and after his death in 1740, his business was taken over by Humphrey Bailey. It was known as “Old Slaughter’s” after a competitor set up a “New Slaughter’s” on the same street in 1760. “Old Slaughter’s” was the favored haunt of the artist William Hogarth (1697-1764), whose St Martins Lane Academy had its beginnings, c. 1735, in the circle of like-minded friends who met there.
