The Gun Tavern, Spitalfields
May, 2014
Demolished or soon to be demolished as a result of redevelopment on Brushfield St.
The owners identified themselves as the last Jewish publicans in the East End. Spitalfields has historically been a neighborhood of immigrants: French Huguenots in the 17th century, Jewish immigrants from all over Europe in the 19th century, South Asians more recently. With rising housing prices in the East End, this will no longer be the case.
