The pub is quirky and delightful . However , there are no en suite facilities in the room which led to a slightly disappointing experience . The staff were very friendly and engaging but the lack of facilities tinged the experience .

Pre-marathon stay

Stayed here as I was participating in the 2025 marathon. The room was lovely and the service received was very good. The road was a bit busy outside all through the night but that cannot be helped. Would definitely stay again.

Great value, great people and a great find!

We stayed at The Angel of Bow last night and such great value for money. The room was clean and well kept and the shared shower room, bathroom and toilet were spot on. The pub itself has a great selection of beers and gins so it was perfect. Not far from the DLR either, we'd definitely stay again!
