East India Arms in City of London, Westminster

I really like this pub amazing history and amazing atmosphere and great shepherd neame ales I had the autumn late red it was awesome

Love this historic gem on fenchurch Street small not much seating but full of character and charm with spitfire on tap but for me it's the guys behind the bar are absolutely amazing really recommend

A lovely city boozer. Nothing pretentious, just a good honest pub. The staff are friendly, welcoming and manage the bar in a professional manner. Even when busy, they alays know who is next in line. I've been a few times, and they remember your orders, which is always a good sign especially as it's not even my local! There's also a fab cask ale selection to work through too and non of that cocktail nonsence. The building is beautiful, packed with history. And... it's also a stone's throw from Fenchurch street station :) It makes that evening stumble home a little easier!

Great historic pub with really lovely staff a pub with a lovely atmosphere great choice of drinks can’t wait to come back

One of the best Guinness int he city. Peter takes such care in his pour. Best service, he deserves a promotion. Wonderful old pub. Please visit.

Un pub histórico raro, quedan pocos, excelente cerveza de barril, buen servicio, nada lujoso, sin comida, un encantador 'abrevadero'.

Proper Pub!! Came here on a Friday evening with work mates a couple of months ago and have been back every Friday since!! Amazing service and staff!! One of them being Christopher Dolan who’s service and attentiveness is next to none! Thank you Chris and the rest of East India arms!!

A fairly small old fashioned pub very close to fenchurch street station.Beer is always good with a selection of ales to choose from.A lot of customers drink outside of the pub due to space limited inside .popular from 5 to 7pm most weekdays

My boyfriend and I were looking around for a quick drink after work waiting for traffic to die down. Funnily enough we ended up in a pub which pays tribute to the brewery in Faversham! It's a tiny pub with limited choice of spirits (obviously) beer is the specialty here. Not a bad place for a quick drink. Expect London prices though not Kent!

Had a pint of Spitfire which was as dull as dishwater. Then had a Whitstable Bay which was only marginally better. Pub is a nice little place in the heart of the city but has limited outside space

This is a very small pub with limited seating. Customers stand at the bar or lean up against the wall but most drinkers prefer to stand outside on a sunny day as it was when we visited, as there is a large pedestrianised area. The staff were well trained, polite and knowledgeable. Each person seemed to have their own duties within the confines of the bar whether it be serving customers, loading the washer, putting away clean glasses etc. Even the gents toilets were small. The wash hand basin, soap dispenser and dryer were all so close to each other that only one person could use the facilities at any one time. However, a good place for an afternoon drink but it does tend to get very crowded from 1600 onwards.

This pub is a shepherd Neames, thus the beer is well looked after and the staff well trained and helpful. The pub itself is very small and on sunny evening the punters spread out on the expanse of pavement outside the @eat' fast food joint. Classic city pub with city pricing of the items on the drinks menu

The pub is in one of the oldest buildings in the City of London and is believed to be frequented by people of the East India Company. The pub was small but buzzing with people after work. However, it's not for people who look for a place to chill, sit and relax. And I believe no extended rage of food is serve.

I remember fondly the male orientated East India Arms, in which 'ladies' we're all to rare. Those times are gone and the mixture of the clientele ratio is nearer 50/50. It's a small but nice pub and if you're in the vicinity of Fenchurch street close to Fenchurch street station, it's well worth a visit.

A wonderful back street local. Beer was excellent and the décor was great. Staff were efficient and helpful.

Nice pub with great history and decor. Staff was polite in helping explain choice of beer. But what is it with men and pubs in London. My wife was the only woman in this (and many other) pub and was given the death stare by countless "punters". Growing up in Quebec we had men only taverns ( which I loved and cried the day they were banned), so I started looking around for "men only" signage. But it just appears that that British men prefer to drink only in the company of other men. Can make pub hoping for a couple uncomfortable.

The East India was the first pub I went to in the City, on my first day working, 50 plus years ago. Then, as now, no food (other than crisps, nuts etc) was served. My visit yesterday was hardly any different. Not much has changed. There are ladies loos, now - as pictures on the wall show, ladies had to use the public toilets outside - even though there are still few ladies as customers. The sawdust on the floor has virtually disappeared, but the clientele is still predominately male City types who enjoy an excellent pint served by excellent bar staff.

When I went it was not too busy and only had time to stop for the one pint. Very friendly service and very nice beer. Shall be definitely going back to sample more beer.

It's a shepherd neame pub so has a good selection of ales.The staff are friendly and efficient.Worth a visit before you board your train at Fenchurch Street station.
