| Absolute khasi. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this pub. usualdog - 31 Aug 2008 14:40 |
| Udają się daleko angielski, Udają się daleko angielski if you can understand this, then dont visit this pub. i should add a spanish and a romanian gypsy translation also, but you get my point. £3.70 for a bottle of anchor ale is insulting, £3.80 for a bottle of baltika is a joke. the only thing more sleazy than the polish bar staff are the battered leather sofas, abielt slightly more attractive. plaintalkingdrinker - 29 Aug 2008 16:55 |
| Visited this pub yesterday at lunchtime. Scruffy and tacky it definitely is and the graffiti in the grotty smelly basement toilet area is quite overwhelming. Having said that the ceramic tiling in the pub is reasonably well preserved. It also features briefly in 'Licensed to sell' the history and heritage of the public house ISBN 1-85074-906-X. I'm amazed that the place hasn't been refurbished incorporating the tiling. The place is definitely different and at times will be atmospheric. I managed to get a half decent pint of Brakspears (no other choice) in between the barman dishing out Pimms to the city toffs at £15 a jug. lyeemoon - 16 Aug 2008 08:40 |
| I understand that the panel showing 'Old Spitalfields' is older than the rest of the tiling, but I'll do some research & get back to you all. A pub I like to visit but not to spend all night here. Cobboldallover - 19 Jun 2008 22:57 |
| Leanne81 – CAMRA publish a booklet containing an inventory of pub interiors of special historical interest. This is what it says about the Ten Bells: “Although now turned into a one-room, trendy bar, there is a wonderful large pictorial panel showing a lively, 18th-century London street scene, and also plenty of blue and white patterned tiles made by W.B. Simpson and Sons of London, the prolific firm who tiled many a London pub c. 1900.” So, in all probability, the tiling was not here when JTR carved his place in London’s history in the summer and autumn of 1888.
