Denmark Arms, Grade II listed pub in East Ham, London.
The Denmark Arms is a Grade II listed pub located at the corner of East Ham High Street and Barking Road. The building features gault and red brick walls with sandstone surrounds framing the windows.
The pub originated as Denmark Inn in 1890 when it served as a changing room for the Old Castle Swifts football club during matches at Temple Meadows. It has since operated continuously as a community gathering place.
The pub maintains a weekly schedule of events including Arts and Craft fairs, Vinyl fairs, and Thursday night pub quizzes that bring the community together.
The venue includes a separate function room with its own entrance that can accommodate various types of gatherings and events. Visitors should note that the space offers flexibility for both casual visits and planned celebrations.
The north bar features Ionic columns that support compartmented ceilings decorated with ornamental plaster cornices and painted glass skylight panels. These architectural details with putti figures give the interior its distinctive character.
