The Morgan Arms

About The Morgan Arms

A large Victorian corner pub on a quiet residential street just off Tredegar Square, run as a dining-led gastropub for the surrounding Bow conservation area.

The Morgan Arms occupies a substantial Victorian corner building on Morgan Street, in the quiet grid of terraces just south of Tredegar Square, one of Bow's conservation areas and among the more handsome pockets of the borough. The pub trades as a food-forward gastropub rather than a straightforward boozer, with a dining room that regularly fills for its Sunday roasts and a kitchen that has built a loyal local following over the years despite sitting well off the main Bow Road and Roman Road thoroughfares. Its scale, high ceilings and generous windows reflect the confidence of Victorian pub building at a moment when Bow was rapidly filling in with terraced housing for dock and factory workers, and it remains one of the largest pub interiors in the immediate area. A garden and dog-friendly policy make it a popular stop for the surrounding streets' families and dog walkers as much as for evening diners.
