Popular east London pub boarded up as staff left 'without jobs overnight' A popular Hackney pub has mysteriously been boarded up leaving staff “without their jobs overnight”.
The pub group announced it could have to close 13 pubs last summer but the White Hart was not included in the list of venues at risk.
Metal panels were secured on the doors and windows of the White Hart in Stoke Newington on Wednesday, and Google Maps has been updated to say the pub has been temporarily closed.
An Instagram story from the White Hart’s account said on Tuesday: “Some of you have sent us a message of support and concern as our beautiful pub was boarded up today.
According to the pub, which is undergoing its second licence review in five years, complaints have been made to the council regarding noise generated from the open windows, as well as the sound one door makes when opened or closed.
