We had a bit of a nasty turn in front of the Golden Heart a few weeks ago. We arrived to find half of their grand Truman’s sign was missing.

Turned out to be blessing. Sandra, the inimitable landlady of the GH, was having the sign repaired so that the neon shown once more. It’s back up now and can be seen for miles.

One day, they’ll have the beer to go with the name.

The Golden Heart is on the corner of Commercial Street and Hanbury Street, right between Spitalfields Market and the old brewery.
