SHOREDITCH E1 - THE CROWN AND SHUTTLEOriginally opened in 1851, this pub was rebuilt in its current form in 1885 and bears a name linked to the Huguenot weavers of Spitalfields. Russ writes: "My mate Pete introduced me to this pub in the late 90,s or early 2000s, one of the best topless girl bars around! They used to come round with a pint glass, you put 50p in and they did a dance on the pool table & later a mini stage and pole. It was full of city types mainly - pin strip suits etc but very frendly but it only opened during the day. If I remember right the manager was a Grant Mitchell lookalike but he died of a drug overdose (rip mate) Had some happy times here." The pub has now been reopened after a makeover as is proving quite popular by all accounts though its not cheap, but where is in this manor these days? |

This photograph taken in 2005 shows the pub (renamed Hobsons Choice then Maddigans at time of closure) after being demolished apart from the facade. After the rebuilt pub opened in 2006 under the name Amp the pub was once again closed and empty by 2007.Then it became the Anatolia Bar before reverting to Maddigans though that closed in late 2013 after a man was stabbed inside while watching a televised football game. A police report submitted to the council states that a man, who was standing at the bar, was allegedly stabbed four times during an incident and required 18 stitches as a result. Police said the alleged victim has “known gang links” and they were concerned that there would be reprisal attacks at the pub, which they believe was being frequented by gang members. The building is now home to the Heart of Hackney Bar & Kitchen (pic by Diane Ridley 2005) |
