There used to be a recording studio several doors up, heading towards Tower Bridge, and some of the bands/singers used to come into the pub. Cannot remember them all but here are a few names: Uriah Heep, Dennis Waterman, Ian Dury, John Lydon (Memory may be playing tricks here). On one occasion the pub was also used as a dressing room/base for a film/show being shot in Hayes Wharf (now Hayes Galleria) - never found out what that was though!! I also remember Arthur Lowe & John Le Mesurier being in the pub, whether that was related to the above filming I would not like to say.
