About us

Nicholson’s pubs are known for their individual style, exciting stories, and charming personalities - and The Woodins Shades is certainly no exception.

Dating back over 150 years, our pub has a rich history and has long been a favourite meeting place for the traders of Spitalfields Market and Petticoat Lane Market.

Many people don’t know that, in the Middle Ages, the historic Sunday street market was in a tree-lined country road called Hog’s Lane, possibly because pigs were kept in nearby fields!

The Woodins Shades is a great spot near you to catch up with friends, relax with family, chat with colleagues, and generally enjoy the finer things in life.

Visited on a Sunday evening and it was very busy. Sat upstairs and went to the bar for a couple of drinks, ordered them but was then told it was table service only. We then waited an age for the drinks and only had one round as we had dinner booked. Why couldn't I just get two drinks? Rules are rules but less customer satisfaction and less profits.

It's always thriving in here. I always feel lucky to get a table. It's very familiar though, and nothing spectacular as far as traditional London pubs go. It's not overly expensive, and the service is okay. There's a mixture of attitudes among staff members, some pleasantly doing their best, and others who couldn't care less. The result is uneven and I'm never quite sure whether I'm gonna get a good drink, a bad drink, or something entirely different to what I asked for.

The Woodin's Shades in London is a cozy blend of traditional pub charm and modern comfort. With a wide array of beers and a hearty British menu, it's a nod to classic English hospitality. The ambiance is lively, with jovial crowds adding to the appeal. Minor waits during peak hours, but the friendly staff and warm interiors make it a worthy visit for anyone seeking a quintessential British pub experience.

Nice little pub with great service! We popped in for a drink and quick bite before more exploring on our visit. Love the option for upstairs or downstairs areas with bartenders in both sections. We chose a cozy little corner upstairs. Katarzyna was an absolute delight and couldn't ask for better service. She even explained the halloumi fries to us and we had to try. So glad we did! Great recommendation! It's my new favorite starter! I also got the Nourish bowl, a salad with grains, seeds, lettuce and a houmous vinegarette dressing.

Grand tavern well rooted in its heritage with well preserved features. Large space, large long bar with heritage and a broad selection on tap. Loved in vintage feel. A great place for friend chatting and London street drinking. Music could be better spread but I imagine this is booming with big sports events on the big screens.
