The Black Bull was situated at 9 Beatty Road and is now used as flats.

I squatted in Beatty Road during 1984 and at that time we frequented many of the local pubs. However, the Earl of Warwick was not one of them as the whole community knew that it was the preferred drinking place of the local Constabulary. The Pub being a convenient 3 minute walk from the rear back door of the Police Station.

I used to live in Beatty Road from 1980-1982, first as student at the London school of pharmacy, and then as a pre-reg pharmacist at the Royal Free. The Earl of Warwick was our local, but it took us a while to work out why last orders wasn't always called at 10.50, i.e., due to the police from Stoke Newington police station calling the shots. The pub was ok, but due to the patronisation of the police its customer base didn't reflect the local population of Stoke Newington. The Earl of Warwick is not a pub I miss particularly (it didn't have any character), compared to the Eliza Doolittle in kings cross, a pub tucked away from the Euston road, full of character and an interesting choice of music on the juke box.

I am absolutely disgusted by the contents regarding the public house results regarding The earl of Warwick in stokenewington As both reviews if that’s what you call them are attacks on my parents character and reputation My parents are no longer around to defend themselves or their reputations but I am. They were not controlled by the police how dare you publish such ridiculous information I do not recall any students being customers at any time They did not serve squatters as they did not allow them into the pub due to it being a family establishment It was a home from home pub for family groups Workmen People who lived away from home And this most important element was that having 3 young daughters living there they were wary of the area not being as safe as it was when we moved there So only control over personal safety was to control the environment we lived in If people didn’t like it there were many other pubs around they could try But most likely the reason they didn’t drink there was because it was a mainly Irish pub and that’s why people did or didn’t go there Please remove these attacks on my families reputation as it’s very hurtful to see these lies about 2wonderful and highly regarded people who were still in contact with many of their past customers up to their deaths
