EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the London Tavern in Clapton, East London, as it looked in the 1950s. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for Charrington & Co. Limited, showcases the pub's facade in all its glory, with its ornate brickwork, decorative signage, and inviting entrance. The London Tavern, located at 8 PA Clapton, London E5 8PA, was once a beloved local watering hole and gathering place for the community. As of July 2018, the London Tavern stands as a testament to the past, having been bought as a freehold by a new family in 2014 from Punch Taverns. Initially, plans were made to demolish the pub and replace it with flats, but a local Asset of Community Value (ACV) nomination from the neighborhood prompted a change of heart. The London Tavern continues to be a cherished piece of Clapton's history, and its future remains uncertain as efforts are made to preserve this iconic pub for future generations. The London Tavern's rich past is further emphasized by the absence of modern commercial signage or branding in this photograph, allowing us to imagine the pub as it once was – a welcoming and integral part of the community. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our historical buildings and the stories they hold, and serves as a call to action for those who wish to ensure the London Tavern's legacy endures.
