The Marquis of Cornwallis 304 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 0AG

"Might not be what’s remember of old east London but it tries to get there. Times change and I am adjusting as well. I haven’t been to other pubs in area but I recommend this"

"East End pubs are on the decline. This had good atmosphere, decor and layout as original, in the middle of the highstreet, friendly service..."

"A fine traditional community hostelry! The Marquis of Cornwall stands proudly on the corner of Bethnal Green Road and Vallance Road. The pub is lovely and very welcoming, nothing fancy and not one for the Real Ale drinkers. However, a fine selection of keg beers, lagers and ciders are waiting for you. Great prices and a good place to have a laugh."

"Classic East ender pub. Lovely welcoming stuff, excellent Guinness, some nights there is even a live band! With drums, piano, sax and a cool variety of local music. Mostly from '80 '90 years but really enjoyable rhythm. After stepping inside I was welcomed by a polite lady who asked me what would I prefer to drink. After opting for a classic pint of Guinness had also the chance to pay in cash, not only with the card! Nice old school touch. Found a table nearby a big window, as the place is very spacious and luminous, and enjoyed my drink. The atmosphere was warm and cosy, with the classic abitual folks sitting on the bar, and some others spreading across the different tables available. Crisps, nuts, and a lot of snacks were available upon request, and the familiar feelings spreading around made that pint definitely peculiar. If you will decide to go there do not expect a fancy pub, but if you are looking for a classic folkloric place in which could come in Craig Fairbrass in one of his famous characters... well you got yourself a hell of a place! Access for wheelchair. Cash accepted also. Price very reasonable. Friendly staff and customers."

"Popped into this pub on the Bethnal green road to watch the footy. Really good vibe in the pub with loads of locals gathered to watch the 2 teams go at it. A short wait at the bar and friendly service from the red haired barmaid after which I managed to find a spot to watch the game. A lively game of footy led to some good natured banter with the locals. We even managed to get drinks brought for us from a lively older gentleman by the name of "twinny" as we found out named this because he was a...twin. After the game which in my view was a disappointing draw we were invited to partake in a meat raffle. Something I had never done before. But it was a great event for all involved especially the winners of the meat. Great pub. Great location and a lively clientele will definitely pop in again. Even if only to buy Twinnie a pint or 2."
