Suffolk Arms, 76 Boston Street, Shoreditch

If you are ever in London, come visit the Purple Poets and our M.E.A. Rope stained glass windows in The Crypt (one has a little boy playing cricket in front of the suffolk Arms pub (gone, now - roughly it stood in the grounds of the Hackney City farm).
We're trying to get a street sign re-instated, if we do that, we'll aim for a pub sign as well!
