This is in Fleet Street, not the strand – specifically, number 37. I believe that this is the Mitre Tavern that was a favourite haunt of Samuel Johnson – and mentioned a number of times by Boswell in his Life of Dr Johnson.

It may be that it’s one of the few 17th-century pubs with a definite known site: http://pubshistory.com/LondonPubs/StDunstanInWest/MitreTavern.shtml
(I don’t know this one, but Ye Olde Mitre, between Hatton Garden and Ely Place, is pretty good.)
