Haggerston: 'Ye Olde Axe', 69 Hackney Road
Very much an open living pub. A boy was just putting out a sign saying, 'All pints £2' - and I'm willing to wager there would be real cask ale. By the way, the clock is wrong - it was morning, but not that early!

Shoreditch: 'The Conqueror'
At the extreme northern end of Boundary Street*, where it meets Austin Street. There are many pubs in Britain named after a monarch, and they seem to be roughly counted proportionately to the popularity of the monarch concerned, with Victoria and William IV high on the list. Not many are named after William I, (after all, he was a Frenchman who came here uninvited, and tried to make us all speak French), but this one on the fringes of Shoreditch, is one example. However, it now appears to be an ex-pub, although retaining its name and sign.
*So named because it runs along the boundary between Shoreditch and Bethnal Green. However, the extreme northern end did not run along the boundary, and was at first named 'Broadway' - although, of course, it was not very broad at all.

This train is bound for either Dalston Junction or Highbury & Islington as the London Overground is closed this weekend between Highbury & Islington and Gospel Oak due to preparation work for the new five-car trains. Looking south-southwest.
