The Prince Of Wales was situated at 80 Brunner Road,
closing in 2007. Known in its last years as The Artful, and also The East
and Central Station (apparently a gay bar). |

This pub was established as the Prince
of Wales in 1871. It was tied to the Mann Crossman Paulin Brewery of
Whitechapel, East London – later falling to Watney’s. In 1970 it was renamed
the Artful,
until 1997 when it was renamed the Central
Station, presumably part of the small chain of gay pubs of that name. By
2006 it had again been renamed, this time The
East. By this time it was more of a gay venue than a pub and had restricted
opening hours. In January 2007 the pub was badly damaged by fire following
a suspected arson attack. It never re-opened. |
