    Default Is this pub closed?

    Anyone been about in E2 lately,I saw a Farcebook post recently bemoaning the closure of pubs usingE2 Carpenters Arms.jpg as an example of The Carpenters Arms, doesn't look great but I'm not sure its actually closed and just has out of hours shutters down? I can't find any info to say either it is or isn't and is still open according to whatpub and google. Obviously Delboy was there last summer,I've not been in or passed by the pub in over a year now.

    Google shows that it is rare for a pub in having security shutters, but they are there in July 2014, May 2015, June 2016 and May 2019. However, by July 2022 the graffiti has suddenly arrived and the plants have died; the place doesn't help its cause by not having a website. And just remembering that I have a crumpled London Drinker in my jacket from a couple of nights ago, a check makes no mention of the pub.

    I could go this evening but don't want to waste a trip if it's now closed on Mondays (CAMRA's opening times aren't always accurate). Otherwise, I could go tomorrow, finding an excuse to quaff some halves in the Royal Oak, Pride of Spitalfields, Camel, Marksman and Approach.

    Last check in on Untappd was October so seems likely to have closed

    Yup. £6.00 for a pint of Landlord and that was over three years ago; it would be exceptionally rare for me to pay that now and in far more expensive areas too.

    Yup. No expense spent - hope that won't apply to the refurb, which I fear will feature bare brick, grey paint and jumbo metal lamps.
