About Black Lion
Rustic-style local pub favouring TV sport, close to East-End sports and event venues.
An old coaching inn with beams and wood panelling, as rebuilt in 1747. The smaller back bar is accessible by a separate door or through the end of the main bar. Next to the original cobbled courtyard, stables and outbuildings have been converted to a function room for hire. Up to six beers often feature Courage Best Bitter, Sharp's and Mighty Oak. The landlord has been here for over 35 years..

🚇 Plaistow 🍺 £5.80 Cruzcampo A Legendary Plaistow Boozer. The Black Lion is located in the heart of Plaistow E13. The nearest Tube is Plaistow, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This historic pub was originally built over 600 years ago. It was rebuilt in 1747 and remodelled again in 1875. Regular visitors in the 1960's were the West Ham team, including world cup trio of Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst. There is also a connection to Dick Turpin who stabled Black Bess in the stables here. This is a classic two bar oldschool pub that oozes old world charm. The bar on the…

A great labyrinthine pub with faux beams all over the place. Lovely people having a drink and great staff taking care of everyone. Good beer including a couple of casks on offer. Plenty of space outside welcoming the good weather. There is a wonderful atmosphere in here, pop by for a pint.

Absolutely fantastic place. One of the last, if not THE last proper old East London pub. Run by a top Irish landlord and his family.

(I've always gone for home made Steak and ale pie with either mash or chips and fresh veg with gravy.) It's really good value, and they serve large portions. Keeps you full all day for sure. All fresh and homemade, it seems and tastes like a lot of care has…
