The Perseverance

Met up with few old school pals in The Perseverance recently and I’m happy to say the pub was fit for purpose. Good service, good range of reasonably priced beer. Friendly staff, the landlord came out on several occasions to ask if we were enjoying ourselves. We decided to go for a crawl on The Broadway Market and although the pubs there had obviously employed the services of an interior designer, they were absolutely unwelcoming and soulless. (The grass definitely wasn’t greener) So we headed back to the Pers and most of us finished up there. “I’LL BE BACK!’

Great local in the heart of East London. Good value pints and drinks. Quick service, perfect pints. The Outside area has been done up- lots of screens inside and out back to watch the matches. The front has one of the largest outdoor tables in the area to grab drinks in all seasons outside too. They don’t sell food but you can order Yardsale Pizza to the pub which is great!! Highly recommend for a slice of authentic east London charm and pints.

Fantastic, a throwback and what you want if you intend to go to a PUB. Looks it's not fancy, you won't find £15 burgers and £7 pints. But what you will find is well priced drinks, friendly and efficient staff with lots of regular characters. As mentioned it is fantastic for sport and that why I often frequent here. Love the fact they charge the same for a pint as they do for a half. Love the big middle finger up to the people who come in and should really be paying rent to sit there that long! Look, this is a pub, as traditional as it gets (not oldy worldly country pub traditional - east London pub) it is there to drink, socialise and watch sport. A complete BREATH OF FRESH AIR in this city. Here's to many more years!
