I didn't realise there's a Spoons / moon connection? Or is there? There's also a moon one in Stepney

A good few of them are named after George Orwell's mythical perfect pub, The Moon Under Water which he wrote about in 1946. Tim Martin has a lot of ideas like this.

That's interesting. I remember seeing an interview with Tim Martin and Owen Jones in which Tim completely owned Owen.

Owen was rattling on about tax havens and pie charts and doing this thing, and Tim said “What do the Guardian pay you Owen?” and Owen was stumped and said that's not relevant to this discussion and Tim was like “If you want to talk about my finances, it's fair to ask about yours, what are you being paid for this interview?” and Owen just crumbled.
