I'm pretty surprised to see this design - I was expecting something a bit more ambitious - or at least a bit more of a difference in shape of the street - I understand it's a bit of a hassle to turn the pub building into a useful part of the museum, but they've had offers outright to buy the pub, restore it to it's original appearance and run it independently of the museum from the Spitalfields Trust so this just seems to be a wilful act of defiance in a conservation area where there are hardly any buildings of it's era about...and 1000 people and counting who've signed a petition that asks it to be retained...
