The Peacock: An east end boozer with Irish charm
Step into The Peacock, a traditional Irish pub nestled in the back streets of East London.
The Peacock is one of the last remaining original east end boozers left in Stepney. Constructed in 1881, it was one of only two pubs in the area that survived WWII. Situated opposite the Thames Magistrate Court and Police Station, it quickly gained the nickname 'The Copper's Pub', and was one of the few not frequented by local villains that made London’s east end so infamous.
After the Court moved location and the police station closed down, The Peacock remained a staple for the community. In the 70's it was run by a local family who stayed for over 50 years until its closure in 2022.
Carefully redeveloped and refurbished, the pub reopened in 2023. Maintaining it’s original features and character, the pub boasts a fresh modern look that both honours the rich history of the pub, and showcases the exciting future it has ahead.
At The Peacock, we strive to provide a genuine taste of Ireland with the authentic character of a traditional east end boozer. With regular live music, a wide selection of cask ales, British & Irish Craft Beers, and over 20 Irish whiskeys. Whether you're looking to catch up with friends or enjoy a night out, I invite you to experience the charm of our pub.
