Protected interwar pubs
The Golden Hart, Spitalfields
The Golden Hart, Spitalfields was listed for the following reasons:
Architectural quality: a dignified, neo-Georgian design by one of the leading pub architects of the inter-war period.
Historic interest: for its association with Truman’s nearby Black Eagle Brewery on Brick Lane, at one point the largest brewery in the world, and with the Britart movement of the late-C20.
Intactness: its largely unaltered interior is one of the best surviving examples of Truman’s in-house style of the 1930s, illustrating many facets of an ‘improved’ pub.
Rarity: for the rare survival of the original neon advertising sign.
Group value: for its contribution to the character of Spitalfields and relationship with other nearby listed buildings.
