| We were here in1999 for are honeymoon,and love the historical significance.I'm sorry to here it change so much pip722 - 27 Nov 2008 20:38 |
| I have recently moved into the area and occasionally pop into this boozer after work. I like its location and its history. Unfortunately the clientele is very arty farty/sloaney/eastern european immigrant. Having said that at least the easterns europeans are probably genuine locals having settled in digs around whitechapel/bethnal and mile end - following in the footsteps of immigrants before them. What I cannot stand is the arty farty/sloaney/hippy people (mainly publicly school educated young girls) who clearly track over from affluent parts of west london or the suburbs just to drink in this pub and others, such as along brick lane, solely because they want to be 'hip and urban' . . . having said that a lot of these girls are very fit. Any way despite my obvious chip on my shoulder I do like this pub and it will be there long after the 'fad crowds' have moved on to urban regentrification areas anew. HLC - 22 Sep 2008 10:20 |
| I was on my way to 93 feet east i stumbled across this place,i have walked past it many times. I went in and orderd a pint of Bombadier i gave the barman a fiver and out of that he give me 1 75 back,i was astonished.That is the most i have ever paid for a bitter in London 3.25,i got to admit it was a decent pint.I was impressed with the old tiles,but i have noticed most of the original east end pubs have had the heart ripped out of them ,they have seem to be transformed into arty farty types. I dont think ill come back here in a hurry,but it was worth the experiance Dyl - 15 Sep 2008 23:28 |
| Cluck Its happening all over mate They are slowly destroying our Culture with modernisation.i'm not against progress, but some things are best left as they are/were tottenhamsean - 15 Sep 2008 19:23 |
| Am absolutely sickened by the state that this pub has been left in by the cretin who thought it would be a good idea to rip it to pieces. I cannot believe that the council allowed it. I came here on saturday, first time in years thinking that it would be the same old pub due to the fact of it's historical significance but it seems that nothing is sacred in the name of cash. Full of faceless loud guffawing kids downing pimms and elaborately named overpriced beers, lolling all over the 'couch' like some ugly cheap version of 'Friends'. What the hell are they playing at? Do they really think they look great?Never mind the fact that this pub was once patronised by at least a couple of Jack's victims, this pub had stood the test of time and had more or less survived any modernisation. It was a piece of living East End history. What angers me even more are some of the inane comments that have been posted about this pub which highlights the frightening lack of knowledge that some these kids have about basic historical facts. I wish I had not revisited and just remembered it the way it was. Unfortunately this pub has gone the same way as most traditional east end cultural landmarks, and the tragic thing is that soon there will be no trace that any of it existed. But at least they left the tiles eh? cluck - 14 Sep 2008 23:20 |
