Public houses of Mile End
As Londoners, we cherish our local pubs. Mile End has some great go-to spots. From smaller, more family run chains to larger pubs like WeatherSpoons, there is a pub for everyone in the area.
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Artful Dodger | 47 Royal Mint Street London E1 8LG | Ex Ind Coope pub called the Crown & Seven Stars, it is a Grade II listed building. It originally got its licence in 1904 and was closed for four years before finally being re-opened in September 1985. |
| Astronomer | 125-129 Middlesex Street London E1 7JF | A Fuller’s Ale & Pie pub re-opened under its new name in July 2016. The beer range has increased (including some interesting bottles) and food is now served from 9.00am. The theme is very much around astronomy and there is some very interesting bric-a-brac to catch your eye as well as the downstairs Hubble Bar. Middlesex Street was originally named Petticoat Lane, possibly prudish Victorians changed the name, but on Sundays it remains home to the famous market. |
| Bell | 50 Middlesex Street London E1 7EX | A former Truman’s house. |
| Black Horse | 40 Leman Street London E1 8EU | Former Courage pub. |
| Brown Bear | 139 Leman Street London E1 8EY | A Grade II Listed Building because part of original glass remains with brass letters on sills and brass rails inside. An excellent Edwardian decorated pub with superb facilities and very comfortable. The food offering is Thai with some English options. |
| City Bar & Kitchen | 9 Stoney Street c/o White Kennet Lane London E1 7BH | Opening in October 2017 as a sports bar having been a smokehouse bar for two years. Five handpumps though they only have 3 real ales. |
| Culpeper | 40 Commercial Street London E1 6LP | Ex-Truman pub which changed hands and was renamed in 2014. Now unrecognisable, it looks more like a Shoreditch warehouse conversion, with glazed tiles, bare brick, metal bar fittings, parquet floor. Seems very popular, with a trendier after-work crowd. The first floor kitchen is Open and bookable for Lunch Tue-Fri (12 – 3pm) & Dinner Tue-Sat, (6-10.30pm). |
| Dog & Truck | 72 Back Church Lane London E1 1LX | Smart and comfortable back street local which is a former Watney Combe Reid pub rebuilt in the 1930’s. Now run by the Bermondsey Pub Co, Food is served all day from the Pieminister range. |

| Good Samaritan | 87 Turner Street London E1 2AE | Classic Trumans interwar pub, built in 1937. Later Grand Met, S&N Retail. Had a spell from 1984 as Good Sams, reverting in 1995.

| Goodman’s Field | 87-91 Mansell Street London E1 8AN | Modern Wetherspoon pub not far from Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. The spacious L-shaped bar is comfortably furnished. The TVs are muted except for major sporting events, and are confined to one area. The three regular beers are accompanied by three guests and a cider (usually Westons). This pub is usually less busy than those nearer the Tower and is fully accessible by wheelchair. |
| Grapeshots | 2-3 Artillery Passage London E1 7LJ | Close to Liverpool Street station and tucked away down Artillery Passage, the dark wood panelling and hessian-clad walls here are reminiscent of an old ski lodge, with its cosy nooks and crannies and comfortable seating |
| Grocer | Spitalfields Market London E1 6DW | Situated within the redeveloped part of Spitalfields Market, this is a large spacious gastropub with a covered terrace and beer garden. Smart, clean and modern with a quirky mix of furniture as typical of Geronimo Inns. Despite being geared up for diners, drinkers are also welcome – 2 real ales and a Westons cider on handpump. Two tank beers from Meantime. |
| Half Moon | 212-223 Mile End Road London E1 4AA | Wetherspoons pub, opened in 1998, an award-winning conversion of a former Welsh Methodist chapel (built in 1900), which had later served as the Half Moon theatre.
