The Edinburgh Castle 57 Nunhead Lane London SE15 3TR This trademark 1930s A.E. Sewell pub has gone through a number of name changes in recent years. It’s been the The Village Inn, The Page 2 Cafe Bar and now it’s called The Duke. The majority of the exterior features remain including the Truman’s lettering, Saloon Bar entrance sign and eagle roundels. However the corner-splay sign which used to have a large eagle roundel at the top has been covered over with a new sign advertising its latest name.

The Three Compasses 66 Cowcross Street London EC1M 6BP According to the 1986 East London & City Beer Guide, this pub was “a place to take a loved one, or even the wife, for good food, beer and jazz piano”. Lucky lady! How times have changed. In 2009 this pub seems to do good enough business serving nearby office workers with Thai food along with the usual wines beers and spirits. The pub was was probably rebuilt some time in the 1950s and was a Truman pub at this time until the brewery’s demise in the late 1980s. However there has been a Three Compasses pub on this site since 1723.

The Stick of Rock 143 Bethnal Green Road London E2 7DG On February 5th, 1993, my friends’ band played a gig at this pub with Demented Are Go and Braindance. The rhythm guitarist in my friends’ band was hit over the head with a bottle and had to go to hospital for treatment. Luckily he made a full recovery. Unlike the venue, now called Leathertex, a shop for goods made of leather (clever name). However, if you look up the the first floor level you can still see the old Truman advertising board.

The Old King’s Head 28 Holywell RowLondon EC2A 4JB‎ The Old King’s Head is an old Truman’s pub with lovely green tiling on the ground floor level. A recent refurbishment and gastropub makeover has removed the original Truman’s sign/board and replaced it with one that tallies with the new corporate design. Holywell Row refers to the river that flows beneath the pub and, as with all old London boozers, it is said to be haunted. The ghosts of two little girls, one of whom was suffocated haunt the cellar. Spooky dooky doo! website

The George & Dragon 240 St John Street London EC1V 4PH Large, street corner former gin palace. Inside is a wonderful tiled depiction of St George slaying the dragon. More recently the pub has been inexplicably renamed The Peasant. Go figure.

The King William The Fourth 283 Camberwell New Road London SE5 0TF 1930s A.E. Sewell designed pub in Camberwell. Nice tiled pub sign above an eagle roundel with “Trumans Estd. 1666” beneath. There are two doors on the Camberwell New Road, one for the private bar and one for the public bar. London Stout and Burton Ales are also advertised. On the side road there is an Off Licence entrance and a Lounge bar entrance. Sadly, despite all of this detail, this is a dead pub.
