‘It’s a shame to walk past the Fox where the owners of the craft beer pub made a go of it for many years until it shut down relatively recently, but it could rise from the ashes.
The Fox is currently being advertised by the Wellington Pub Company, which runs the largest free of tie pub estate in the UK.
The Fox was allegedly used by a ruthless London gang planning one of Britain’s biggest armed heists — the £6 million Security Express robbery.
Saxe’s former haunt re-launched as a popular craft beer pub in February 2012, in keeping with the changing nature of the Hackney-Shoreditch area, with a roof terrace, photobooth and beer vending machine.
Others around the capital include the Thomas A Becket, a famous boxing pub where Muhammad Ali once visited, the Old King Lud, where Dale Winton was once a DJ, and The Camden Falcon, where Coldplay played one of their first gigs.
