Old-fashioned unspoilt pub in a Georgian square, a stones throw from Limehouse station (BR and DLR). Ex-Watney, Magic Pub Co. Changed hands in 2012, now run by the former operator of Booty's E14, who reinstated real ale and the pub seems to be doing well. Small narrow interior. Quiz Weds. Open mic last Thurs monthly. Drag cabaret at the weekends. Filled rolls on the bar. Sports TV (often on). Pool. Darts. Pavement seating.
