The rooms worth crossing London for: the interiors CAMRA lists, the last galleried coaching inn, the pubs where something documented happened, and the ones that do one thing better than anyone. Filter by kind, or by what's open now.
A 1900 corner palace of glass and plaster, put back to seven bars after the football left.
Historic interior
Built in 1899-1900 for the Cannon Brewery in red brick and polished granite, with Flemish gables and an octagonal corner turret under an ogee dome, and protected for the plasterwork and the glass inside. Over what was the billiard room is a large coloured-glass skylight, now above the open kitchen.
It was the match-day pub for West Ham until the Boleyn Ground closed in 2016, and losing sixty thousand people a fortnight is the kind of thing that finishes a pub this size. It reopened in June 2021 after a restoration costing a million and a half.
Be clear about what that restoration did, because it is the interesting part: the original plan of seven separate bars is back, but the screens that make it are new, hand-made in wood and glass, acid-etched and brilliant-cut to copy the one saloon panel that had survived.
