The Old Ship

(4 Ratings)
Gay/mixed corner pub on solid ground
Friendly and local-feeling East End pub with London's top drag stars performing live on Saturday and Sunday (and sometimes Friday). Plus Wednesday quiz nights, and there's a pool table too. Under new management since 2013 (John Fell), with the bar now saved from threat of closure. Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station: Limehouse.
