Carpenters Arms on Cheshire st.
This is an interior of my favorite local pub, love the fact nearly every time I pop in there is someone I know already there. The pub reopened last year, being boarded off for a long while, reportedly because of the closure way back in association with the local East End gangster family, the Krays, I believe.

The gangsters were the Kray brothers – they murdered Jack “the Hat” McVitie around the corner from us. Lovely people.
