Boleyn Tavern

The Boleyn Tavern is a protected pub standing at the corner of Barking Road and Green Street in Plaistow. The building displays traditional English architecture with multiple rooms and seating areas for guests both inside and outside.

This pub was built between 1899 and 1900 and quickly became a gathering place for West Ham United football supporters because of its location near the club's former ground. Its position made it an important spot for both fans and local residents.

The pub preserves the character of a traditional English drinking establishment with original interior features that reflect how such venues served their local communities. You can experience how neighborhood pubs functioned as social gathering places for ordinary people over generations.

The pub operates with extended hours on weekends and accepts all major credit cards for payment. You will find seating available both indoors and in an outdoor area.

Records show that Mahatma Gandhi visited this pub in 1931 during his time in London, where he drank cream soda while talking. This surprising visit connects the pub to a significant historical figure.
