White Heart yes so the story goes!!
Frying pan-restaurant incredible!!
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!

The Bricklayers arms still standing now converted to flats is on Settles Street
Princess Alice/City Darts on Commercial Street still a pub
Ten Bells
Frying Pan Thrawl Street now Indian restaurant
White Heart Whitechapel High Street still a pub
Queens Head Fashion Street now gallery coffee cafe
All these buildings are still standing and importance regarding the case! Been 3 years since I visited the east end life moves fast in London sure there are many more pubs still standing these are off top of my head hope it helps
Thank You for posting it's Interesting to see many of these businesses are still around
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"
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.
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!
