The Bell, Walthamstow

The pub is a beautiful building with great character, and would be a great venue for music and the like, shame about who is left to run it. It has had several managers in as many months, and the most recent is taking it back to it's dark days which gained the venue its bad reputation. He has been conning entertainers into doing gigs there, getting them to do his dirty work (making up his posters, doing all the advertisement where he does none etc) and then refusing to pay them at the end of the night. A pub to avoid until the brewery get the message and put someone respectable and honest in place. It will continue falling into ruin until it is turned into flats and lost forever unless it cleans up it's act. Warning to all Dj's and musicians, either don't work there or make sure you get paid upfront first, he WILL try to get out of paying
