  • Outstanding pub restoration

Music Hall Bar.

Rescued from near-dereliction by a dedicated team supported by fundraisers and volunteers, and by the events which continued during the years of restoration, Wilton’s is now fully open, and with it the Mahogany Bar. But rather than attempt a restoration to some supposed pristine state the evidence of its chequered history has been retained, leading to bare bricks, varying levels and odd doorways.

As for the bar itself, the papier maché bar front has been restored in full incorporating the remaining fabric. Some plaster panels have survived on the walls. Seating is an eclectic collection of tables and chairs.

Information for this venue is provided by the East London & City Branch of CAMRA

Restoration

This well-executed bar is in Wilton's, London's oldest surviving music hall, built in 1859 to bring West End glamour to the East End. It has been rescued from near-dereliction and is Grade II*-listed. Evidence of its chequered history has been retained by bare bricks, varying levels and odd doorways. The papier mache bar front has been restored incorporating the remaining fabric and some plaster panels survive on the walls. Seating is an eclectic collection of tables and chairs. The hall still has a programme of theatre and music all year round and can be viewed outside performance times.
