Ex-Whitbread, Laurel pub. Now Greene King and recently converted to Metropolitan Pub Co format with beers now drawn nationally. Named because it was the site of a huge munitions store under Henry VIII. The décor is minimal with bare floorboards and brick walls. The front of the pub is the main drinking area while the rear is more for eating. There is also a restaurant upstairs. The five real ales always include at least one London brew.

Information for this venue is provided by the East London & City Branch of CAMRA
