"Famed for: Tracey Emin artwork, famous regulars, and an iconic landlady. These days every new brunch spot or bar opens with a neon light wall hanging that says something like ‘Sex, Drugs, and Avocado Babes!’. But the neon signs in The Golden Heart are the work of Tracey Emin, who regularly hit up this small corner pub along with the rest of the young, cool Brit crowd in the 90s. Thanks to its Spitalfields location, you’ll still find this place packed full of art students who won’t publicly admit that they’re partly here for the pints, but mostly here because Pete Doherty used to be a regular. Whether you’re coming here to sip a pint on the buzzing patch of pavement outside after a day in the office or need a sit-down after scouring Brick Lane for vintage goods, be sure to be polite to the landlady who has become as famous as the pub itself. Do not fuck with Sandra, we repeat, do not fuck with Sandra. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
