About The Half Moon
A sizeable Wetherspoon pub on Mile End Road near Stepney Green station, serving the chain's usual all-day, low-priced formula to a steady stream of local and passing trade.
The Half Moon occupies a large single-storey unit on Mile End Road close to Stepney Green station, taking its name from an earlier pub on or near the same stretch of road rather than any surviving historic building. As with the rest of the Wetherspoon estate, it trades on scale and price rather than period character, offering a long cask ale line-up alongside the chain's standard all-day menu of breakfasts, burgers and a weekly curry night, all at prices well below the East London average. Its position on one of Tower Hamlets' busiest arterial roads, roughly midway between Whitechapel and Bow, makes it a reliable, no-frills stop for shoppers, students from the nearby Queen Mary University campus and workers passing through rather than a destination pub in its own right, but it is consistently busy through the day precisely because of that convenience.
