Pubs in the region
As Londoners, at Cozee we are deeply attached to our weekly attendance to our local pub. Why should you be different in the place where you are going to live? That is why we have been testing and reviewing all the pubs in Whitechapel. As a matter of fact, we didn’t… But we would have loved to. Here is then the list of the greatest pubs of Whitechapel
| 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. |
| Duke Of Somerset | 15 Little Somerset Street London E1 8AH | Renamed Thirst & Last then back to Duke of Somerset. |
| George Tavern | 373 Commercial Road London E1 0LA | Modernised grade II listed old pub with live music and door charge on occasions. Has retained huge tiled painted mural. |
| Golden Heart | 110 Commercial Street London E1 6LZ | Exceptionally popular ex-Trumans pub, often packed. Excellent interwar building and interior, in two completely separate bars, although the public bar on the right used to be further divided. Period features include wood panelling on the walls and under the bar, gilt Trumans lettering around the top, brick fireplaces. One of the Inter-War pubs listed in 2015. |
| 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. Traditional pub well used by staff from the London Hospital, standing room only on peak nights. Patients from the hospital have been known to nip in for a quick drink. |
| 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. Two separate rooms, each with its own bar and a different selection of beers. The front room is the former chapel, with a dramatic central “lantern” feature, while the back room is in the modern extension, where the theatre stage used to be. Always very popular with a great mix including office, medical and student custom. Decent patio at side |
| Horn Of Plenty | 36 Globe Road London E1 4DU | Refurbished in 2015 retaining a central bar. Maps are displayed on the wall. Quiz night is Tuesday. March 2023 – Kitchen is closed so you can order pizza for delivery. |
| Leman Street Tavern | 31 Leman Street London E1 8PT | Opened in February 2016 in a new build as part of the Goodman’s Fields development. The pub is dominated by a central bar, with a restaurant area to the left of the entrance. There is an open kitchen to the rear. Modern design with exposed brickwork and aircon ducting visible. |
| London Hospital Tavern | 176 Whitechapel Road London E1 1BJ | Historically this was the London Hospital Tavern (named after the hospital next door), renamed in 2000. Ex-Allied, Ex Punch. Medium-sized interior, broken up by paneled pillars, wood & glass screens, and glass display cases. Busy enough during the week with a relaxed atmosphere, can be heaving towards the weekend with medical and student custom. |
| Princess Of Prussia | 15 Prescot Street London E1 8AZ | Former Truman and later S&N pub acquired by Shepherd Neame in March 2005. Two room pub with beer garden at rear. Named after Victoria, the eldest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who married Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858. |
| Running Horse | 7 Piazza Walk, Leman St, Goodmans Field London E1 8FU | Close to Aldgate station. The Running Horse has the bar sitting centre stage, exhibiting Trumans fresh tank beer. and a range of craft beers. Food is available from an open plan kitchen. The third handpump was occupied by Rosie’s Pig cider on a July 2023 visit. |
| Sir Sydney Smith | 22 Dock Street London E1 8JP | The pub has reverted to Sir Sydney Smith. It has 3 hand pumps, 2 in use except at busy times. Sometimes has an offering from a London brewer such as Truman’s, ELB or Southwark , along with varied Greene King ales. |
| Ten Bells | 84 Commercial Street London E1 6LY | Shabby chic interior but with striking patterned wall tiling plus 2 large tiled 18th century street scene murals which gave this pub Grade II listing. One of the unfortunate victims during the murderous reign of Jack the Ripper was allegedly last seen alive leaving here. Lunchtime food. Toilets downstairs. 3 handpumps on the bar counter. Classic pub snacks which include homemade pork scratching, pork pies, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and crisps. |
| White Swan | 21 Alie Street London E1 8DA | Comfortable pub built on the site of the Half Moon Theatre on the fringe of the City, which can get busy during lunchtimes and early evenings. One bar serves two areas, the smaller of which, the original pub, was extended into the next door building in recent years. There is also a small room upstairs used mainly for dining and private functions. Grade II listed building with wood fronted bar and half wood wall panelling.
