It always creeps me out when I go past it! Never been in so don't know what the actual pubs like? Any other creepy signs out there?

That’s old chazza mate
The Duke of York in Fitzrovia
I think it’s their style. They also left the outside half painted for like a year.
This pub is actually really wholesome 😅 They have a really cute three legged cat and host a great pub quiz on Tuesdays. Would recommend haha
The China Hall in Rotherhithe, where choices were certainly made…

Great pub. Owners are a bit like marmite, you love them or hate them. There’s a three legged cat named Legs, dart board and pool table. Had some great nights watching Eurovision on the big screen. Good times.

I used to walk past that every day. I always thought it looked like Jerry Seinfeld in the Puffy Shirt episode of Seinfeld.
I’d rather go to The Swan and Pedo
Looks like that girl Tommy cheated on Molly Mae with
It’s creepy as hell but I love it.
I used to live on Charlotte Despard ave in Battersea, didn’t know there was a pub named after her as well.
Looooooooool horrendous ugly
Is that Matt Smith?
Ironic it’s in Islington given it looks like peak Tony Adams
Despard times call for Despard measures

Looks good and memorable to me. They also got some free advertising from you. Sounds like one of the best pub signs in london.

I see your creepy sign and I raise you Comic Sands on a pub that really should be more royal looking
It appears to be a terrible rendition of this already unflattering photo. (She was Charlotte French prior to marrying Maximilian Despard.)

Charlotte Despard was as a proper interesting character.
Personally I think the sign is quite charming
for those that prefer froth over substance
they should google charlotte despard
You would remember it and the pub more than some others with the usual boring portraits though which may be a reason why it’s still there.
I remember the landlord of that pub got so upset with the car accidents on the road outside the pub that he went to the local newspaper saying he would glue his face to the road unless the council did something about it.
