Welcome to The Bow Bells

Your Favourite Local and the home of The Pearly Queen Theatre!

(Time Out’s Top 50 London Pubs 2024)

Nestled in the heart of London’s vibrant East End, The Bow Bells is an iconic, independent family-run pub with over 150 years of history. A true Cockney boozer, we’ve been welcoming locals and visitors alike since the 1800s. Today, we continue that tradition with a warm, welcoming & inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels at home.

From the buzz of West Ham United home games to the dazzling performances of drag queens, we celebrate East London’s rich diversity and spirit. Here, history and modernity collide: we honour tradition while embracing contemporary culture, offering a pub experience like no other.

Whether you’re here for a pint, a lively game, or a night out with family & friends, come join us today and discover the best of British pub culture.
