EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sekforde Arms, a cherished watering hole nestled in the heart of Clerkenwell, London, is depicted in this photograph. The image captures the pub's facade in all its glory, with its ornate brickwork and inviting frontage beckoning passersby. The Sekforde Arms, located at EC1R 0HA, has a rich history, as evidenced by the trading record printed on the reverse of this photograph. This record reveals that the pub's lease was held by Youngs as of July 2018. However, the pub's future was uncertain, as the freeholder, a barrister, had decided to reclaim the property with plans to develop a penthouse flat for personal use. Despite this, the ground floor was to be retained for a pub, ensuring that the community's beloved local would continue to thrive in some form. The Sekforde Arms, a public house, booster, or simply a bar to some, has long been a staple of Clerkenwell life, and this photograph serves as a testament to its enduring charm and history.
