Best Pint of the Day
Would be back ����
Such a cute pub and one I walk past every day on the way to work and wonder 'why is it so busy?' (well actually, that's normally on the way home, even city workers don't drink at 8am).
It's small (or quaint if we are being flattering) and there is an aura of history surrounding it but this does mean that on a sunny day, you stand outside eat with your pint in the smog covered sunshine (nothing wrong with that).
The service left something to be desired, a smile goes a long way and what truly shocked me was the 'closing bell' being rung at a mere 8:20pm. As it was a Wednesday night, maybe they did me a favour, but still. Very strange.
For an after work drink, it is what it is but I wouldn't suggest a pilgrimage if you're not in the area (and be prepared to stand for the duration of your pint as there is one seat which is usually occupied by a city workers laptop case).
The East India Arms is a traditional city pub from the oldest British brewery Shepherd Neame. And have no doubt, this is what us Brits call a pub, if you're looking for lunch, other than a bag of nuts or crisps the East India is NOT for you, they don't do food. Probably the most authentic boozer in the City.
Been in this lovely pub a few times - great location by Fenchurch Street station and wide range of drinks. Nice, friendly service and atmosphere. Highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
You want a pub with a bit of history, somewhere where great service, brilliant atmosphere and best of all 1st class drinks, look no further than the East India Arms, always my first port of call when I am in London, very much looking forward to my next trip.
In a city of glitzy cocktail bars, giant corporate wine bars and hipster craft beer pubs, this is a shining light for the traditional London boozer.
Proper pub, proper ale. Old school.
Pretty good pub buried within offices n stuff. A nice trip back through the ages. (ignoring the ties to slavery, obviously)
Cozy and interesting place for a pleasant time with friends.
The people who serve the customers are kind, smiling and responsive.
I recommend!
A terrific little pub on Fenchurch street, next door to the station and also the East India trading company building from whence it gets its name. Good beer, great staff and a delightful ambience. Generally a lovely place to visit for a pint.
Nice guinness, nice environment. The pub is too not that big so it gets crowded so easy. But the attention and the people are great.
Been drinking in this pub for nearly 30 years now, on and off. It never seems to change (in a good way) decent range of beers and close to Fenchurch Street making it perfect for a quick pint before heading home.
I visited this place at 2:30pm on a Monday and it was really quiet. I'm not really the pub type of person and that was the first time I had walked into a pub on my own.
Really nice in there, I could have sat outside as they have a few chairs outside but trying to stay out of the blazing sun. Staff were also very welcoming and when I asked for pen and paper to scribble some things down, they provided.
It was close to Fenchurch Street station so I managed to get my train on time.
