Turners Old Star in Tower Hamlets

A rare gem ! A genuine London Pub

Pretty great pub with lots of life. We were very loud when we arrived, but it wasn’t too bad. Watched the football and then played a couple of games of pool : not bad at all!

Very welcoming traditional 'East End' local.. Always have selection of fine real ales. A cycling threesome of well kept and well priced beers. Often including dark ale A great display with a Beefeater uniform and supporting info...

Great pub and landlord. One of the best pubs in London

I've been twice, the smell of cleaning fluid is both concerning and comforting. You know it's clean but why is it that clean? Had a good pint and I know you could have a great night drinking here. I hope to give that a go soon.

Great locals pub with a very friendly atmosphere and excellent beer.

Great traditional pub, with fantastic original decor inside and lots of nic nacs. The bar lady behind the bar (who we think was the landlady) was very friendly and chatty with us. There are 3 handpumps, two local ones and a good mix of types and strengths. I would love this to be my local

Spit and sawdust, local boozer. Made to feel welcome as soon as we entered. Cheapest pints in the area and loads of bar snacks. Pool Table too which is a rarity in Pubs these days.

Although this pub is in Wapping it is more of a traditional local than other pubs in the area. It has a smallish but nice beer garden and the pub is opposite a nice small park. It is also reasonably priced, three beers for under £16. They had 3 cask and 10 different whiskies. The pub is bright with a lot of natural light and has a pool table. This is not a pretentious pub and if you are doing the Wapping pub crawl I would add this to your list.

We stopped as part of the Dickins p7b walk, and had a cracking time.

If you want to find a local traditional pub in Wapping then check this place out. They have a small enclosed beer garden at the back. The pub offered a good range of alcoholic beverages. The pub does serve food, but I didn't order anything so I could not give a rating for this.

This is a very lovely old school pub. Off the beaten track so no tourists etc. Reasonable prices and even though the gaffer is Tottenham, a very nice place to spend some time!

This is a proper pub run by a proper landlord. My first time in it and I cant believe I never knew about this hidden gem. 4 of us did a pub crawl round Borough/Rotherhithe/Wapping/St Katherine’s Dock. Some of the other pubs are more famous and in more glamorous locations. But the welcome we got was just levels above anything else we got on the day or anywhere else we’d been in for a long time. We said we would be back for our Christmas session but I’ll be back before the end of the Euros never mind the end of the year. Top gaff ran by a top man.

Bit of a hard-core locals pub, a couple of ales and a porter but mostly commercial largers. Good prices though.

We have been frequenting this establishment for many years, paul and Bernie are the perfect hosts we are always made to feel welcome even though it’s a long period in between visits. As always it’s a pleasure to return.

Lovely little local pub, decent pint, in a very nice suburban area that has a village feel.

Nice little place with friendly staff

Popped in this historic pub on our way to Wilton’s Music Hall, will definitely come back 👍🏻

Super cool Little traditional vibes pub. We’re a couple of tourists who were in need of a pit stop. Service was friendly and the music was 90s hits. Can’t go wrong! Tried two locals beers poured from their old style taps. Worth a visit!

Great traditional English boozer! Love this kind of places and will be coming back!

Great local boozer! Felt like my own local

An absolute Gent - Paul- saved myself and Ken from totally being destitute in awful weather- despite not being open. Paul you are an exemplary Landlord - Guinness was amazing

Great local to whatch a game and have a pint.

A proper local. Great atmosphere, even Terry adds to it 😂

Great day, great staff. Felt at home babe.😉

I dont even remember that I have ever been there

Great find of a bar down Wapping way! Featured in the film "Legend"..serves the best Guinness in London..friendly staff and great clientele. Put on your must goto list!

Decent old school boozer - just what you want in east London

Real London Community backstreet boozer Had a very good feel about the place And 3 real ales to try Very nice lady behind the bar Was made to feel welcome I will visit again

Fantastic place for a tasty Guinness and awesome to visit a filming location from the absolute masterpiece that is Legend. East End forever!

A proper local traditional pub, friendly staff, made us very welcomed, nice atmosphere.

Lovely staff, great service, very friendly.

A small relaxed pub with friendly people.

What a fantastic pub,old fashioned and authentic,a charming Landlady who made you feel welcome.We will definitely go back again soon.Thanks.

I called in for a pint whilst following a "hidden London " walk. Delighted to discover this gem of history still undisturbed by modernist plastic.

I saw a match once there Good atmosphere Near my home back in the day If you are from Wapping you should go

Great little pub cheap Carlsberg, and a great piece of history

Friendy staff nice section of beers.

Nice local pub with a large pub garden and outside bar. Reasonable prices for the area and friendly staff.

Great pub friendly staff, we went there as that's where they filmed the legend krays film. Great pub will definitely visit again

this joint is a clasic. stella AND stella unfiltered on tap. nuff said

Very welcoming woman behind the bar. Could not take my puppy in or leave it out. So she just served me at the door !! Big up for a kind service and being understanding !

Great bar with friendly owner, staff, and patrons!

Proper East End pub not many left nowadays sadly

Outstanding, outstanding pricing, great seating, alcohol selection 10/10, prospect - no TVs , captain Kidd eat your heart out, Mario balotelli 10/10

Best stop of the night. Top tier bar maids, drinks and TV enterta8nment. Considering a night out in London? Look no further, Turner's Old Star has it all.

When in the area, pop in and have a pint or 2. Summer has arrived so drinking outside is a pleasure in the secret garden.

Great traditional east end pub with friendly bar staff and locals. Good range of cask beers at a very good price for London, highly recommended

Beautiful, traditional corner pub with a fantastic historic story and vintage feel. Interesting heritage, fantastic bar and leather bench seats with, with a great tap selection. A private, exclusive, local vibe for a quiet, calm approach to catching up over a pint pool or sports TV.

Avete mai visto "Legend"? Qui è ambientata la scena della rissa fra i gemelli e la banda rivale. L'arredamento è da pub tipico inglese. Il signore al bancone è gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo preso due birre e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Il locale è raggiungibile da una fermata della metro in 10 minuti di camminata.

Absolute stalwart of the Wapping community, great old East end boozer with no frills or fuss!

Incredible boozer. Cheap drinks, great staff and a pool table

Part of the stag route lived it

One of the last remaining old school pubs in Wapping. The clientele are local down to earth people. Many other bars in the area are geared up to attract young people with gimmics and premium beers; not here! It is steeped in history and has many features that have not been replaced for years, if ever. The price of a pint is also 20% cheaper than other pubs in the area. So if visiting Wapping and you want a more authentic experience, then this place is a must visit!

I love this pub, brilliant and welcoming! Good prices.

One of the few remaining real East End pubs always a pleasure as a true East Ender from Stepney myself

Proper old school pub. Friendly staff and locals.

Very much enjoyed and will be back. The interior has loads of character and they had three casks of Bermondsey brewery on tap which was quality.

A lovely old pub selling excellent ales. The owner and the barwoman were really friendly as well. I'm heading back today for another pint of red ale, well recommended.

Great old school pub! Pool table too, and good prices. Great pub to have in Wapping. Pies are tasty too! Good in the summer because of the sun trap outdoor area, and good in the winter because of the pubby indoors interior

I've been to the Turner's Old Star quite a few times and if you like an old school friendly East End pub then pay it a visit. When I went recently it wasn't busy but it was early in the week and just after Christmas. It is named after the painter Joseph Turner and was also used in the film Legend as the ‘Pig and Whistle’ pub where the peace talks between the Krays and the Richardsons soon descend into a massive punch up. It also has a pool table and live sports on a few big screens.

Top notch pub, family owned. Owner is very friendly. Well decorated place. Well priced. Will be coming back

Here for a quiet evening pie and pint combo. Perfect for a lovely warm welcome and fresh cooked food. Great beer. I'll be back

One of the best pubs in Tower Hamlets. A proper East End local serving superb cask ale.

Absolute gem. Visited with 4 friends on trip to Wapping.This family run pub is brilliant in terms of atmosphere and the family that run it are amazingly friendly and hospitable. Not to be missed if you love old pubs.

A very quaint locals pub which is unusual to see.

Traditional pub in the heart of the East End. Great staff! Good amount of outdoor seating.

What's that a rolling pin What you gonna do bake me a cake

Proper proper pub. £5 cider and all the bar snacks you can ever need. Landlords and barstaff brillinat and the beer garden out the back is rare to find like this. Great little pub.

An excellent local pub filled with interesting local people. Plenty of outdoor seating and a newly revamped beer garden. It all makes for a great place to watch some football or just hang out with some friends.

Watched the boxing in there last saturday! Decent beers very cheap in my opinion! Good pool table run by good people! nice outside beer garden not sure why you have to have plastic cups tho thats the only bad thing i can say about it really!

Quiet when we visited, but a few friendly locals who gave us a good welcome.

Lovely local pub with a beer garden. The pkace is very well kept and the banter was pleasant.

Nice traditional pub! A bit more pricey than expected. Fosters £4.80, more than in pubs around central London! Only plastic glasses outside - not the orders of the old bill, just the guvnors own idea apparently.

This is a proper, no frills East-end boozer, with very friendly service. Plenty of history too, with the connection to JMW Turner.

Mejor bar local de la zona de Wapping

Loved how bright it was in there.

Great pub very friendly catering for locals and the tourists walking past.

A beautiful little local pub. Very welcoming with a friendly vibe. There is a pretty little beer garden as well.The beers are well kept. It is such a shame that pubs like this are becoming rare.

This has to be one of the few remaining traditional East End pubs in Wapping. It’s named after the celebrated English painter Joseph Turner, who developed the original ‘Old Star’ tavern in 1851, after converting two cottages that he had inherited. The pub underwent a major yet sympathetic refurbishment in 1987 and was then renamed as a tribute to its original owner. Today it sells a good selection of well kept real ales and has large screens for watching live sports. For me the latter is a little too intrusive, but these things are a matter of personal taste. Nevertheless, this classic, historic pub Is definitely worth seeking out.

Really lovely old school type pub

Great pub great at atmosphere, traditional pub style. Loans of history is the place. Movie spot of legend. All’s best pint of Guinness in London, I’m an Irish man so I should know

Wonderful little pub with a real welcome. A couple of cask ales and keg beers. Fun karaoke night every other week. Has an interesting history and was once owned and run by the famous artist Turner

What a wonderful pub the staff made us feel so welcome and nothing was a problem we would definitely visit there again

Good locals pub. A little rough around the edges but friendly and welcoming. Pool table available which is rare in a pub these days.

Spent a lot of my time in the Turner's on my recent trip back to London. A great local, warm atmosphere and a good range of drinks at a good price. Highly recommended if you find yourself down Wapping way..

Lovely local wish there were more pubs like this. I'll be looking for and excuse to come back.

One of the only remaining authentic pubs in the East End. A must visit if you are in the area, welcoming landlord and staff, great garden and pool table.

A quaint local pub with a local people ambience and crowd. Nice to go there for a drink if you a local and you like locals and the people around.

Great local pub with friendly bar staff

Great pub. Two local ales complement the other lagers and both nice. Decent screens for football. Pool table. As you want from a traditional pub.

Great place to watch a match. We saw F1 finale, and the atmosphere was great and good service. The multiple speakers were echoing a little though.

Very good pub... Beer wasn't expensive yet good quality. Supplied food for a corporate hockey match and was well appreciated. Definitely worth a visit any day of the week or weekend

Fantastic family owned pub. Classic, cosy interior. Nice outside spaces. The pub is across from the park so a great place to get a drink and sit outside. One of my favourite pubs in London

Decent little quiet pub with a pool table which kept us all entertained! Beer selection is okay but doesn’t offer as many as other local pubs. However, it is only a small pub so for what they have is great.

Interesting old pub in Wapping. As it's name suggest it was bought by the painter JMW Turner (for his then mistress!). Two cask beers available when I visited. Two gardens and an outside paved area where on can secure takeaways without entering the pub.

I've lived in the area for over 15 years. And it was the first time I went. Sat outside and was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely go back

Best Guinness in London. Hands down. Paul, the owner is the nicest bar owner I've met. Also, big claim to fame in that pub with movies like 'Legends' filmed there

Enjoyed a pub which featured in a film

Great little pub. Fantastic land lord
