Title: London Pubs of Crims and Crime
Creator: BobOs .

Description:
You'll need your Travelcard for this one (or a good pair of walking shoes). Not the most salubrious pubs in London (most of them never were) but worth a visit for their associations with crims and crime - famous crims, such as the Kray lads and Jack the Ripper, and famous crimes of murder, robbery and suchlike - enjoy!

The Old Bank Of England (5)
	Apparently the former kitchens below were once run by a Miss Lovett, whose locally sourced organic meat was purveyed by boyfriend Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Watch out for fingernails in the pies!
	The Old Bank Of England has 26 pictures The Old Bank Of England has 17 recommendations The Old Bank Of England has an average rating of 7.0
The Ten Bells (6)
	Notable as a haunt of Jack the Ripper - two of his prostitute victims, including Mary Kelly, frequented here before having a ripping time!

Blind Beggar (7)
	Well, you've got to visit at least once (and probably only once!). Not what it was and overly-expensive, but this is where Ronnie Kray shot George Cornell in the head on 9th March 1966. Nice one Ron!
