The Shaston Arms, a beloved pub in Soho frequented by Oasis and other celebrities, is set to close on June 15 after 25 years of operation. The landlords refused to renew the lease, opting instead for a restaurant venture. The pub, known for its iconic bangers and mash and rich history, was also the site where the 90s boyband Blue signed their first contract. The closure reflects broader struggles within the hospitality industry in London, which has seen a significant number of pub closures this year.
In a statement posted to Instagram, the pub expressed sadness over the closure, noting, "We are disappointed that after 25 wonderful years, we are sadly saying goodbye to The Shaston Arms in Carnaby."
The Shaston Arms, a beloved venue celebrating its 25th anniversary last year, was a hotspot for notable patrons, including actors and musicians, highlighting its cultural significance.
