About the Vibe
Fox Connaught is a Grade II listed Victorian pub in Silvertown that locals actually frequent, especially when ExCeL isn't hosting a massive convention. The wood-paneled interior feels authentically British without trying too hard, and the 200-person terrace is a solid draw when the weather cooperates. It's not the trendiest spot in East London, but the steak and wine deal (£19.95) is a genuine bargain, and the staff are consistently praised for being on top form.

A Proper Local Pub with Great Terrace
Fox Connaught stands out in Silvertown as one of the few traditional pubs that hasn't been swallowed by the area's rapid regeneration. Housed in a Grade II listed Victorian building, it maintains a cozy, wood-paneled interior that feels like a proper local rather than a corporate chain. The menu focuses on classic pub fare—hearty meals and tasty snacks—without pretension, and the steak and chips with house wine for under £20 is a steal in this part of London.
The real draw is the terrace, which can accommodate up to 200 people and becomes a lively spot when the sun is out. It's also a favorite among ExCeL visitors and locals alike for catching live sports, with multiple screens showing everything from Premier League to Formula 1. The staff are consistently friendly and efficient, making it a reliable choice whether you're after a quick pint, a casual meal, or a private event space. It's not going to win awards for innovation, but it delivers exactly what a neighborhood pub should: good food, decent drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere without the fuss.
