| Don't let the outside put you off, it's actually quite lovely inside. Really friendly staff, decent selection of reasonably priced beers and spirits (cheaper than the Beggar, more expensive than the White Hart but thankfully without the racist football crowd). The food is cheap and tasty, there's a jukebox which is both a blessing and a burden (great when you're picking tunes, less so when it's on random and suddenly blasts out the Welsh national anthem or something). Great gigs on too, and open mic on Thursdays. Odd mix of punters, lots of hospital staff, students, foreign visitors, Whitechapel locals, random passersby. Nice though. emageddon - 28 Nov 2011 12:42 |
| My my the decor is eyesore, but don't let that put you off. The lager is cheap (for London prices) and the service is with a smile. The atmosphere has a hint of mayhem when it gets busy. You can have fun in here. It's no frills. randompubgoer - 26 Sep 2010 20:56 |

| The LHT (Urban Bar) is among a special category of place in the Whitechapel. Among a generally poor selection of places to drink in the area this has somehow managed to stand out fromt he crowd (probably the tiger stripes) as quite possibly the worst place of a poor bunch. Expensive drinks, poor decor and drinks selection (20 alco-pops is not a selection, it's 'Select your vomit colour in 2 hours time'). The nurses at the London Hospital deserve a better bar to attach their names to. In fact they should sue for defamation of a good hospitals name with this sahmbolic excuse for a pub/bar. As for the place itself - free popcorn does nothing for me, and even though I despise the beggar I'd rather go in there than here. Or alternative everyone go to the Bull and hopefully this place will close down. rampantwurzel - 18 Jan 2008 09:25 |
| Its ok, could do with a clean as smells a bit too much of stale beer. Free popcorn though! northoftheriver - 11 Dec 2007 16:11 |
