      Brilliant!

      I've no idea when I'll make it down to London (hopefully towards the end of this year), but a curry in the Frying Pan after a wander round the Whitechapel pubs it is!

      I will be sure to post pictures when it happens!!

        Ha! I only have a two hour slot, and it's my first night out since September.

        I will likely be entirely focused on throwing as many cold beers / G&T's down my neck as possible.

        I suspect pics of this won't be pretty!!!!

        But yeah, I will indeed have fun and be safe.

        Hope you have a good one too whenever you finally get out and about!!

              I can't remember. Does the Ten Bells play up its Ripper heritage or discourage it?

              c.d.
              I'm not from the country or area but the website for the Ten Bells, I only skimmed through it so I may have missed it, but so far as I can see there's no mention of the Ripper at all. The site just says it's "steeped in history"

                Many thanks for that, Christian!

                Am I correct in thinking that the White Hart on Whitechapel Rd is the one which George Chapman managed?

                I'm thinking a couple of drinks in the Ten Bells, onto the White Hart then follow up with a curry in the old Frying Pan......!!!

                Have you ever eaten in there?

                If so, is it any good?

                  If I recall correctly the Ten Bells was previously called the Jack The Ripper to cash in on it's history.

                  It received a lot of negative publicity as this was rather exploitative and in poor taste.

                  It's my understanding that the name was eventually changed back to the Ten Bells, and I'm sure that I read on a thread somewhere on here that the staff are now reluctant to encourage the Ripper connection.

                        Thanks. Yes, it was my understanding is that the Ripper connection is now discouraged.

                          Pub hopping? It's called a 'crawl' for a reason. To quote The Pogues, "I'll walk in on my feet, and leave there on my back"!

                            A pithy lyric to be sure but nothing says it better than "we ain't leavin' till were heavin'"

                              there was a fraternity house very close to the main bar called the Vous (pronounced Voo-short for Rendevous ) in college park at UMD and their saying was-52 steps to the Vous, 152 on the way back. lol!

                                As in "I was walking home when someone stepped on my hands".
