The Ten Bells pub in Spitalfields, East London. Apparently Annie Chapman and Mary Jane Kelly, two of Jack the Rippers victims frequented this pub. According to Wikipedia 'Annie Chapman may have drunk at the pub shortly before she was murdered; and it has been suggested that the pavement outside of the pub was where Mary Kelly picked up clients as a prostitute'. Despite its history or because of it, it's a great pub with lots of character. The interior it is decorated with impressive original Victorian tile.
I did this sketch a few months ago at the 'Sketching Jacks London' sketchcrawl organised by Pete Scully. It was a fun evening and great to meetup with some people from USk Barcelona....and perfect weather. Pete gave everyone one of his mini sketchbooks and here's a few drawing in did in mine.....
