Food And Drink
England's Charles II builds the nation's first ice house in St. James's Park, London.
Samuel Pepys at London notes in his secret diary that he has drunk a "cup of tee (a China drink) of which I never had drank before" (see 1658). Tea sells for about £6 per pound (see East India Company, 1664).
