Grade II listed and on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors with One Star, meaning an interior of special national historic interest. Founded 1666, the present four-storey stuccoed corner building is mid-nineteenth century, standing opposite Christ Church Spitalfields. The draw is the floor-to-ceiling late-Victorian tiling: swirling blue-and-white Arabesque panels, a raised floral dado, and the pictorial panel on the north wall titled Spitalfields in ye Olden Time, visiting a Weaver's Shop.

A pint of London Beer Factory, who own the pub. In the upstairs bar, the East End Negroni or the Chimney Sweep Sour.
Daylight — you cannot actually see the tilework after dark.
Grade II listed with a CAMRA National Inventory One Star interior. The pictorial panel is on the north wall. Now run by London Beer Factory. The Victorian tiling is the draw — sit where you can see it. The one thing the room lacks is a decent sound system: the speakers do not do the space justice, so go for the tiles and the beer, not the music.
