The Britannia once sat at 279 Mare Street. It would be renamed The Samuel Pepys after #WWII. It was heartlessly demolished and rebuilt in 2004 as the Marie Lloyd Bar, now a different modern bar at 289-291 Mare Street, #Kingsland, #London, #E8. Replaced with a tacky, ugly building as usual.

The Tragic State of East #London's Pubs ⚰️ 🍻 (1080p edition)

🎙 @VinnieSull1van
🎥 @ChelseaDan5

#EastLondon is a prime location to see the drastic death of Britain's public houses. Across Britain, pubs are closing or being changed into gastro-bars on mass. East London acts as a showroom to their overall decline as wherever one turns, a ghost is stating back at you. This short video is but a taste of the depressive nature that London, and our work uncovering its dying pubs, truly feels. #RIP 🤝

Good evening, troubled #London,
Whilst I can, I'll humbly say.
I hope we make it to the morrow,
So we may think about today.

#Paris is a woman, but #London is an independent man puffing his pipe in a pub.”

Once, #London's market pubs were lively & full of character. Now, they like the market trade itself, seem to be but a memory that will soon disappear along with the hero's who made their legacy a reality.

Scene from the film 'Villain' (1971) that was filmed in The Assembly House, 292-294 Kentish Town Road, #KentishTown, #London

Take a look at the stunning interior of the Assembly House (@assemblyNW5) and the wonderful vibe depicted in this short clip. Though the film may raise an essence of nostalgia to some, the pubs appearance and ambiance will connect with many more.

"Villain is a 1971 British gangster film directed by Michael Tuchner and starring #RichardBurton, Ian McShane, #NigelDavenport and Donald Sinden. It is based on #JamesBarlow's 1968 novel The Burden of Proof. Villain was director #MichaelTuchner's first feature film after directing in television

As with other films of Villain's same era and genre (#GetCarter (1971), A #ClockworkOrange (1971) and Performance (1970), for example), some of the violence is quite graphic, especially during the heist scene, and it foreshadows several 1970s cop TV shows such as The Sweeney, Target and Special Branch."
