???? Canning Town
???? £4.00 Fosters
A Well Run Community Local.
The Princess Alexandra is located on busy Barking Road on the border between Canning Town and Plaistow. The nearest Tube is Canning Town, it’s a ten minute walk to get here.
The pub was built in 1867 and then rebuilt in 1967 as part of the redevelopment of Canning Town in the post war years. This a staunch West Ham pub that has a number of Hammers flags hanging from the exterior of the building.
This is a classic traditional two bar post war pub, I wasn’t sure which one was the Public or Saloon. The bar on the left is a good size and is bright and airy. The servery is located on the right and is surrounded by stools. There is plenty of other seating around the bar including a faux leather banquette under the window. The right hand bar is more compact version of the left, both bars were immaculately clean. At the front of the pub is an outside space with a number of benches if you fancy an Oily Rag.
The beer line up was a selection of standard keg lager, bitter and cider. I decided on a Fosters, my pint was decent enough and, price point was appreciated. This pub doesn’t serve food.
I arrived just before 4pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon in September. The pub was fairly busy in both bars, there were a fair few outside also. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm with the odd hail of laughter coming from the regulars sat around the bar. The horse racing was on the box on mute, the soundtrack was a soulful mix of Luther Vandross and George Benson classics.
It was good to see this pub thriving on a Saturday afternoon. This is clearly a well run pub that is well supported locally. I enjoyed my time here, although brief. If you’re in this neck of the woods, it is well worth popping in here for a pint.

Such an enjoyable and entertaining Friday. Great atmosphere :) We loved the quiz night, although it should be reserved for East End locals (as the questions were though for foreigners!) :D
Cosy True English pub where you know you are in East London ????????
Came for a darts match. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. No ales, but Theakston on draught, not bad. Will try and pop in now and again.
Cold pint, friendly people, good prices - what's else could you wish for on a Friday evening?
Staff didn't look too happy to serve but werent rude. Drinks were okay and not expensive for london prices. Great place to go for a drink and a chat
Fantastic locals pub. Friendly and well-priced, highly recommend.
