The locals to the Pride of Spitalfields are mostly Muslims and there is even a large Mosque just round the corner but it's always heaving when I've been in there.
Is still like a good old East End boozer with a couple of decent ales.

Been in that pub loads of times. Considering the locals are either cheap students or muslims, it's not a surprise it's under pressure.

"they also took over the Turners Old Star in Wapping."
That brought back some good memories for me as my Grandparents lived opposite the 'Old Star' in Beechey house (top floor) and we had some good Saturday nights in the Star with all the family......happy days.

Oh yeah next to the Brune Estate. Never been in there but would be a shame if it closed. Only a couple of hundreds yards from the City

Used to drink in there many moons ago when Louis and his family ran it (Jason ran a pub in Plaistow and they also took over the Turners Old Star in Wapping.) Cracking pub at the time. Toynbee St? Just off the Commercial Road.
Had a thread about it a couple of years back, apparently Louis 'Louis the spaniard' , was running a pub in Southend somewhere? Louis was proper old school West Ham.

Hopefully will become a mosque for the local community to use.
