The Florist Arms in Tower Hamlets

Chilled pub, decent beer and great pizza - like really good. Recommended the fin diesel! Always stop for a pint when visiting London

lovely bar staff and warm atmosphere

Good beer range but was a bit too loud for me.

Good atmosphere - wish it was open later

Cosy little pub with good beers including cask beers and local craft beers and tasty wood fired pizzas

Great atmosphere Euro 2024 semi finals was on!

Extremely lovely staff. Nice drinks selection and decent decor. Two stars off, though.....no cash! Poor.

Love this pub, it’s my work local. Always a good welcome and cold pint. Nice mix of locals and workers. Pizzas are great. Jess is the best barmaid ever!

If it's good enough for Taylor Swift, it's good enough for me. Really lovely bar staff.

Oh dear. This is a traditional old pub with history. I guess a demographic change, but this pub needs love, money & care.

Quick Service and Polite staff Friendly atmosphere and great Art Hanging through the bar/Pub. worth a look and try the Guinness for a change and you might get a shamrock on the top , go on be a devil .

Lovely pub and fabulous cocktails. Service was great.

I was in the Florist tonight like I am quite often and I was sat at the bar waiting to be served looking around one of the barmaids was collecting glasses while the other, which I believe is the landlady was serving. The other barmaid the smallest of the three and can I add the only barmaid that doesn’t not know my name and what drink I drink compared to all the other barmaids, who take the time to get to know the regular customers. I like it in this pub because the barmaids have made the effort to talk to me, to know my name and what I drink, all these little things mean everything to me. But when I walk into the pub and see this barmaid behind the bar I feel like I have to make more effort. I’ve even had to tap on the bar to get her attention because she is on her phone with this particular barmaid.

Absolutely hideous behaviour tonight from whoever was managing/the landlady?. Really wrecked my night out with friends. She was yelling at customers and clearly bullying a crying, sweet staff member. So incredibly inappropriate I couldn’t believe it. Will never go back. This used to be a great pub. Sorry to see it go so far downhill. Don’t recommend- go get a pint somewhere with nice staff instead.

Visited on a Wednesday afternoon so quiet but a lovely Boozer. Best in the area. Super service too.

Lovely atmosphere and excellent bar staff

Cozy East London pub with cool art and funny toilet graffiti. Staff were friendly.

Great old school boozer. Friendly staff & locals. Need SS football ⚽

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Florist Arms in Bethnal Green, a rustic pub offering stone-baked pizzas. My friend and I were both craving pizzas, and we were not disappointed, the pizzas were cooked really nice, with a crispy crust and gooey cheese. Overall, we had a wonderful lunch experience at The Florist Arms. The pizzas were delicious washed down with a few refreshing pints, all served by lovely staff. I would recommend this pub to anyone looking for a casual and enjoyable meal.

Drop in for the first time today on my way through London, most welcoming bar staff I encountered and best playlist. Perfect pint, too! Will be bac.

Great place with delicious pizza and decent beer selection.

Great place for a drink, an extensive menu, epic staff, and an atmosphere money can't buy!!!

Great pizza, choice of drink and friendly staff. Perfect!

Very good pizza (pizza molto buona) for italian taste. Italian approved!!!!!!

I have lived in East London for years but only just moved to the neighborouhood and this will certainly become my favourite local pub!! Lovely staff, great atmosphere and reallyyy amazjng pizzas!! Definitely Italian approved😍🇮🇹

A great Pub not far from the Bethnal Green Central line stop. A great East End pub. Bar tenders and beer are top notch. Amazing pizza. Cozy place . Has some outdoor seating. A great spot in a neighborhood.

Pizza really not that good anymore. Don't bother. Used to do half price deal also.

Great little pub, great traditional vibes and the staff were class!

One of my favourite pubs. A great little place with a top atmosphere, great drinks selection, friendly staff and good pizza. Proper community pub.

We were made to feel very welcome in this pub with great beer and pizza - especially by lovely Jess. Nice crowd of drinkers with a friendly vibe. Dog-friendly too.

Great East End pub, traditional bar and fare.

Staff the best together with a great pizza

Fantastic local pub, long may they live

So sweet, great staff lovely pub!

Great booze, great staff, great local. Get yourself down there.

Pintas muchisimo más caras que en otros bares de la zona.

Friendly, welcoming bar staff. Blend of East London understated cool n local. Good vibe n energy.

An excellent East London pub in the heart of the community. Offering a great selection of drinks, a good atmosphere and some brilliant pizza. There is always a warm welcome here if you’re a friendly, chatty and open person could’ve asked for a better bar staff. They’re all really friendly and helpful and willing to tell you all about the drinks they do you have on offer.

A great local pub , they have nice German beer 🍺

Proper nice pub, friendly staff, can't really go wrong with this one

The best pizza special !! Thanks Amin chef always do great food lovely pub and friendly staff!

My favourite haunt... Top staff and locals who make this boy from Kent welcome.. Terrific atmosphere... And pizzas!

Lovely cosy pub. Wonderful beer, lighting, decor and atmosphere. Friendly bar staff and impeccably curated music

Best music for drinks. Staff were super friendly and are serve you quickly and help find a seat for you if it's a bit busy inside

Lovely beers and great pizzas 🍕 What more could you ask for in an East End pub. Oh, and the manager Emma is a character in a lovely way though.

Unreal - Mon deserves a pay rise. Unrivalled service

Great pub with lots of space to sit with friends. First time I have been in it, but hopefully not the last. I will update on my next visit 😉

15/10/22: not a bad selection of craft ale, although one had soured and was returned promptly for a change. Another, the Laine Brew; Mangolicious pale ale 4.7% was also on the turn, but drinkable. Quite a small quaint pub, service was ok, but greated by a childrens party for what looked liked 7 year olds running round. I had hoped for better. A dark interior but with likable booths to chit chat in, whilst we were on our Bethnal Green Ale Trail. Worth a visit, worth a pint, worth taking in it's back street boozer history. Existing from circa 1852 and formerly known as the Florist's Arms, the name changed to what it is now circa 2013. Previously owned by Watney Combe Reid Now run by Emma Tabard (from about 2016), a third generation publican, continuing the family trade of East End pub owners.

Lovely pub with a really nice atmosphere. Booked a large table for a group of 30 that was perfectly accommodated for. Lovely food and drink (especially the pizzas) but best of all were the staff who were so nice and friendly - couldn't have asked for any more.

Das Bier war lecker und die Bar hat uns gut gefallen!

A friendly and comfortable local in an interesting part of London. Beer is good.

Really enjoy coming here. Cosy place to spend time in and enjoy the good selection of beer/ale and excellent pizzas. What's not to like!

Amazing atmosphere, lovely staff and one of the best pizza in london

Popped in on way to Victoria Park Sunday market. Loads of tables, good choice of beers and real ale. Chilled tunes and airy with some seating out the side. Perfect.

Attended just before we travelled down to the go karting in Mile End. Lovely boozer off the main drag. Typically east end and tend to offer beers not found in north. Give the Smirnoff cocktails on taps a chance.

This has been my local for years. Great vibe - plenty of space (notable contract to the Camel up the road....) Really hard to argue with their £7 pizza specials which basically seem to be on most of the time. Pizzas are good - not phenomenal but definitely I've paid more for worse. Choice of beer is a bit limited, but they have enough

The pizzas are delicious, lovely staff and music. I highly recommend coming to The Florist 👌

The staff is really nice and we immediately felt welcome when we walked in. We are definitely coming again. The vibe is really nice.

Paid my first visit here as part of a walking tour. Cask beer was in perfect condition and the landlady, Emma, gave us a bit of a talk about her history working in the industry and the atmosphere she's tried to curate in the pub. Really enjoyable experience - I'll definitely come back!

Quiet on Saturday afternoon. Decent beer with friendly service.

Wait, wrote a review for the Camel that was meant for the florist. So I repeat: ace place, great staff, pizza is a plus, and they have rare beers like Rothaus and Oechsner. 🙌🙌🙌

Friendly and intimate old Victorian, east end boozer. Just 200 metres from Bethnal Green tube. Proper ales from the hand pump and good lagers. Good selection of wines and spirits too. Well worth a visit and many more if you can!

Wooow it’s just delicious!! The Italian chef is just amazing and the pizza is worth the money!! Wonderful

Very good range of beers, IPA, ales and dark beers. The pizza was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful and professional. I would recommend it to anyone in the area. Thanks

The Florists is a great East End local pub filled with lovely people having a great time. I am drinking Oechsner lager, Bavarian in origin and perfect for me, other kegs available. For the real ale drinkers there are three pumps working. A simple but hearty pub with the most welcoming feeling, a good time had by all

Went here with my dad and his partner. Beautiful, friendly, good vibes, little East End boozer, where you can escape the worlds problems, relax, have a laugh and you meet people from all walks of life. Great value for money, food is great, Emma is amazing as well as her staff.

I enjoyed my experience here a lot - the bar looked local to me, the beer was perfect, the food was tasty (I had pizza)

Great beer on tap and great pizza on tap! I say…..5 stars!

As always, a warm welcome from Emma and the locals...

Bartenders are all superb, and Emma pours the best pint of Guinness in the whole UK. And the pizzas are amazing. Thanks to the chef Amin for being willing to customeise pizzas to the specific requests of a large group of friends. We'll definitively be back for more

Lovely old pub, lovely friendly staff & great food. Popped in hoping for a meal and drink before a show and this did not disappoint. Busy for a Monday early evening, had lovely ambience, fab music, fairy lights & candles on tables. Pizzas were great! If I had one small criticism is they don’t take cash, not sure if this will change in the future. But this place did not disappoint, many thanks

Good ale food music and company

One of favourite pubs in London. Super friendly bar staff, great selection of beers, and phenomenal Pizzas freshly prepared and baked by Amin!

The atmosphere in the pub is amazing, all the staff are friendly and lovely and the pizza is so good. One of the best pizza in that area. I will come back for sure.

Jess, Emma and the rest of the bar staff really make the atmosphere special. The pizzas are fantastic, the beer selection is good and has different options from other local bars. A recent 20% price rise made us think of going elsewhere but we decided the vibe was worth it. Let's hope the owner appreciates what he has.

One of the best pubs in London. Great staff, regulars and atmosphere. The pizza is amazing and the booze on tap ticks all the boxes. If you're East and want a proper pub, here's a great choice.

A lovely back street boozer. Well worth seeking out.

Great pub, brilliant atmosphere and they sell the most delicious pizza. Really enjoyed it!

No-nonsense East London boozer with decent stone-baked pizzas.

The owner has a really bad attitude. She shouldn't be serving costumers.

This evening me and my friends went to the Florist and we were treated in a very rude way by a lady that was there cleaning the tables and snorting as soon as she saw us. I understood there was an episode with one of our friend 2 years ago, which in that moment wasn't there, and she threatened us to ban all of us if we ever tried to bring him back. We left the place disappointed for the behaviour of the lady and apologising to our friends that had no idea of what that was about. In addition, the place was completely empty so 5 customers could have brought some mood. It's a pity because I really loved your pizza!

This evening we went to the Florist and the pub was empty. As soon as we took a sit, the owner started to clean around snorting and slamming chairs against the tables in the room. We went to the bar to ask for drinks and the same lady told us we weren't welcomed because our friend was banned 2 years ago for being loud. Our friend didn't joined us tonight but came 3 weeks ago and the man at the bar refused to serve him, so we left all together. Tonight the lady threw us the fact that we brought him back three weeks ago (after 2 years) she was very rude and said that we will all be banned if we try to bring him back again. We understand that our feiend might have been loud and unpolite that time, but tonight in the group there were other friends that had no idea about what happened and saw themselves threatened this way totally out of the blue. We are mortified and this is not a way to treat recurring customers.

Good atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and great drinks and pizza. Lovely pub

Lovely local pub, serving great pizza.

It does nice craft beers and excellent pizzas good value for money

I've been to the Florist Arms a couple of times now and never been disappointed with their pizzas. They have a good selection of lagers and beers and the service is excellent too. A decent place if you fancy a bite to eat, something to drink and decent atmosphere.

We popped in for a quier lunch and enjoyed some fabulous home made pizzas. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food!

Pizza was fantastic! Nice staff and the local gin is really good 👍

Lovely character in the building and a great selection of beers

Popped in randomly and managed to get a seat near the TV to watch the football despite not having a booking, very nice of the staff to allow us. Beers were lovely and service was great will definitely be coming back in future!

Great pub, wonderful atmosphere. A wide range of beers and spirits at not unreasonable prices. Also do pizzas which are available as gluten free, which many pubs don't do. Staff very friendly. Will be back!

Cosy stop off venue for drinks and a quick bite.

Staff are really great here. Treated like a VIP from start to finish !! Vegan pizzas were banging and Mon and Emma were incredible!

Really lovely staff, super nice and welcoming. A v nice pizza too

Such a welcoming local pub! Great staff, who are both efficient and friendly. A really cosy atmosphere. Fab for those cold winters evenings. The team have gone above and beyond to make the pub Covid safe for both their staff and customers and I really hope they are able to open their doors as normal on December 2nd. P.S their pizza is pretty special too and well worth that trip when we are allowed back out.

I love coming here. Really friendly staff, great food and atmosphere. I don’t live in London, but I’m able to visit regularly and for me, this is my ‘local’. One of a kind.

If this was the pub next door to my house I would love it! A welcoming,cozy pub in the heart of the East end is rare, yet the florist is just that. Sensational pizzas and the staff are amazing! After the new lckdown ends, I am straight back there! Big shout out to Emma for being a legend too. Much love to the florist and see you in December ❤

The staff are second to none and it's a flawless bar. Really worth a visit. Try the pilsner its insane

Amazing staff, super welcoming; , amazing pizzas, amazing atmosphere - highly recommended on all levels.

Oh how I miss this little gem of a pub as my local. There is not many pubs in the east end where the bar tender knows your name, and welcomes with a friendly hello and smile. But the pizza wow the pizza, they are amazing. I get cravings for the scilian hot. Can't wait to get back.
