The Old Horns was situated at
68
Warner Place. This former Watney’s Brewery pub was
present by 1872 as the Old
Horns. It is a pub that was strongly associated with the Kray Twins, who
spent their last night of freedom together here before being arrested on the
morning of 8 May 1968. By 1983 the name had been changed to Warners. It
was again renamed, Jeremiah Bullfrog,
in around 1990 and closed in 1997. The premises now house a Montessori
School. |

In the 1991 novel Downriver by Iain Sinclair,
the narrator meets a director, Saul Nickoll, who is to film his script, and
who is a regular at the pub: ‘He modelled blue Crombie overcoats, left
behind, in something of a hurry, at the Old Horns (Bethnal Green)'. |
