The Lord Stanley

The Lord Stanley offers a quintessential experience in a bright and airy establishment that merges history with the lively spirit of Plaistow. The pub, with origins tracing back to the 19th century, presents an interwar aesthetic characterized by a spacious two-bar layout and dominating horseshoe-shaped servery made from solid wood. To the left, a vibrant atmosphere is accentuated with pool tables, a collection of football memorabilia, and a large television displaying the latest games. Meanwhile, the right side exudes a warm coziness with its carpeted floors and engaging features such as a projector for live screenings, a stage for live music and karaoke nights, and even a rare Fives dartboard. Known as a wet-led establishment, it serves an array of widely appreciated keg beers, including a preferred pint of Carlsberg. Without the distraction of a dining menu, it dedicates itself to fostering a sense of community among patrons, made evident by the friendly interactions with local patrons and welcoming bar staff. It’s a steadfast venue amidst changing times, becoming an East London favorite for locals looking to share a pint and friendly conversation.
