The landlady is a diamond, but you can't take any liberties. Who else could put "we are the champions" on the jukebox whilst chucking out a group of German tourists at the same time

This is the unpretentious brother of the Ten Bells. It's a good first pit stop on the way to Brick Lane.

It's a traditional London pub. It's frequented by artistic sorts. If you like that sort of thing, you'll love it.

Great pub without many City Boys - an achievement this close to the Square Mile. Decent jukebox, good staff, and apparently the birthplace of the legendary Bud Flanagan. A real East End gem.

A traditional old pub with a saloon and public bar. Sandra the landlady is a legend.

One of my favorite pubs in London; I'm there most Fridays after work (and there's always room for a cheeky one through the week with Sandra).

Great pub for a quick pint after work, or before moving on to somewhere else in Shoreditch. Sandra, the landlady, is an absolute legend.

Pretty average pub. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing pulling me back. I can't be sure, but I think the Brooklyn may have been a bit soapy…

Talk to Tracey about her work, don't blindly slag it off just ask her about it, she's a good egg.

Slowly turning into 'Shoreditch theme' pub. When visiting don't look in the mirror before leaving the house and top things off with a comedy hat.

Horrible service, drunk staff and a poor and overprice selection of beer. Posible, the worst pub in London

Don't upset the landlady - I reckon if she don't like your face then you ain't welcome! Shame, 'cos the pub has character.

Don't complain about the beer. If you're not happy then don't order another and go to different bar.

Um pub típico de Londres, pequeno, aconchegante, com uma lareira que garante o calor nas noites de inverno, várias opções de chopp de verdade, por cerca de £5,00 🇬🇧👑💂
