When did Coca‑Cola first arrive in the UK?

Coca-Cola first arrived here in 1900 when Charles Candler, son of The Coca-Cola Company founder Asa Candler, brought a jug of syrup with him on a visit from the US to England. It was first sold in the UK on 31 August 1900, but didn't go on sale regularly until the early 1920s, when it appeared at outlets around London including Selfridges and the London Coliseum.
