The pub is found in Whitechapel, Greater London, E1 8EY.

This pub was present by 1793, when it was acquired by the Thomas Newnham Brewery of nearby Goodman’s Fields. It was rebuilt in its present form as early as 1830 and has a well-preserved exterior, with large, rendered pilasters. A prominent ‘Taylor Walker’ sign dates from the 70s/80s reincarnation of that name. Inside the pub now has a single room, but it is pretty much split into two sections by the large, central bar area. There is some wood panelling at the rear, some surviving brass rails and a couple of nice old brewery mirrors, one of which advertises Allsopp’s beers.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 14 different beers and tried 4 of them.
