Giggling like twelve-year-olds outside a naughtily-named bar near Spitalfields. Can you spot the creative Photoshop? 

This bar, incidentally, was named for Richard Bentley, a prosperous 18th-century merchant who some say was the inspiration for Dickens’ Miss Havisham. Bentley was a neat, well-dressed man in his youth, but following the death of his fiancee refused to clean himself or his home/warehouse/shop, which soon became notorious for its disrepair (any letter addressed to “The Dirty Warehouse” was automatically directed to Bentley). Fortunately, the present-day bar retains the original site’s “atmosphere” only in the form of artifacts safely stowed away in a glass display case.
