The Widows Son is one of those pubs with a story to tell.
You'll find it deep in the East End and handily next to Devons Road DLR. I found it for the 2nd time whilst on a lengthy walk on the Inner London Ring.
The first time I came, I had no idea of its history but when I got home, I'd had a book delivered called "Britain's Strangest Pubs". The Widows Son was on the cover.
The reason - mouldy buns.

However, all is not lost. A photo through the window and I can bring you the mouldy buns.
