In 1962, exactly fifty years before the Olympic Games rolled into
Stratford, East London, the Johnson family took over the Two
Puddings, the most notorious pub in the area. Due to a combination
of its cream-tiled walls and the volume of blood spilt, it was also
known locally as the Butcher s Shop . Within a few short years, it
had become one of London s busiest and most fashionable pubs, its
hugely popular music nights acting as a magnet for a large and
colourful cast of disparate characters who would regularly descend
upon the premises, including renowned actors, writers, singers,
musicians, champion boxers, infamous gangsters, television
personalities, and World Cup-winning footballers. By the time the
Puddings closed its doors for the last time, nearly four decades
later, landlord Eddie Johnson was the longest serving licensee in
London. Tales from the Two Puddings is a poignant, at times
hilarious, look back upon a lost world of East End eccentrics,
local villainy, vindictive policemen, punch ups, and practical
jokes, all now lying buried beneath the concrete blocks and sterile
shopping centres of the new Stratford.
