The Hallsville Tavern (the White House), Canning Town

Happened upon this place on Saturday evening. I'm normally critical of the choice of beer, but as I was in my persona of Des. Driver it didn't matter. Old style East End pub? Well yes, but they had a young girl singing on who was busy making the joint jump. What a fabulous atmosphere! Everyone was having a great time. The singer's mic. broke and she appeared to trip and hurt herself quite badly but in true style got up and continued, willed onward and upward by the lovely crowd. Great evening, fabulous singer (Maddie Cole?). All round, the pub could not have been better. . . . . unless of course I had managed a pint or two! Next time. . . .
