The Story
From the 1986 CAMRA City of London guide. Large single bar. Relatively quiet and uncrowded compared with the GreenMan next door. Shades was established in 1795 and rebuilt in 1874. In danger of being demolished as part of the Mansion House Plan. Food. Darts and bar billiards. Closes at 9pm weekdays and is only open for the Saturday lunchtime session at weekends.
Ghost Hunter mode reveals 500+ closed and demolished pubs on the PINtPOINT radar — each one a room that once poured pints on that exact street corner.
Closure and address verified against CAMRA’s pub database.
