Fine Youngs pub in a Georgian square ( rather like the Trinity Arms in Brixton ) close to Limehouse station.

This is indeed the pub that the Queen Vic in Eastenders was modelled on, though thankfully there were no punch-ups or anything during my visit ! Nor did anyone try to sell me a dodgy motor !

This is of course the pub where the Queen Mother pulled THAT pint way back in 1987 and it is pleasing to see that mementoes of that visit have been retained.

The public bar has been updated somewhat and I found the quieter saloon bar more to my liking. Note the old London 5's dartboard - not seen too often nowadays.

I enjoyed a reasonable pint of Ordinary at £ 2.40p early yesterday evening.

Well worth popping in if passing by.

This is another one of our favourites to drink in. My mate plays on the pub darts team with his old man. Its real nice in their on a sunday afternoon when you just wanna have a pint with the lads. Prices are pretty good too and beer is always cold. Cant say the same for the coke though. My mates always saying better drink it before it goes cold :D As most pubs toilets are a bit rank though

if it was good enough for the Queen Mother, god rest her soul it is good enough for me. A great local that is a constant entertainment on both sides of the bar. Loud and local with great ales and largers and a licencee from the old school.

I had a beer in here once, it's well proper. Loads of Elvis impersonators came in which made it memorable.
