The Flying Scud Public House
137 Hackney Road. London E2
Closed in July 1994 after a long but steady decline in business. It was "taken over" by a group of undesirables who hosted parties there where drugs and other savouries were on offer. Was finally boarded up after a police raid later the same year.
A sort of protest message has been painted on the front of pub saying "This is not a local" whether this is in protest at its closure or just warning people away is unclear.
The pubs name comes from a ship of the same name. The ship was a clipper (like the Cutty Sark) that sailed between Liverpool and New York as well between London and India.
