The History
Step into The Carpenters, an East London gem steeped in as much intrigue as history! From the 1960s to the early 2000s, this old pub was a secret haven for some of the city’s most notorious gangsters—members of the Great Train Robbery and the Hatton Garden crew gather here, sipping on drinks, swapping stories, and tapping their toes to live music that often kept the walls humming long after last call. The legendary Kray firm members were known to have stopped by, adding to the air of mystery that still lingers.
Now, with doors freshly opened and a new era dawning, The Carpenters is back, ready to charm a whole new generation. With a tip of the hat to its colourful past and a stylish twist for the modern Londoner, it’s the perfect place to drink, dance, and keep a few secrets of your own.
