Dating from the late 18th century but rebuilt in 1880, this place is easily accessed from Maryland station (in east London not the East End as claimed) opposite. Despite the legend IRON MAIDEN in neon lighting to the exterior, I only came here because I was desperate for the loo and not out of a burning ambition to visit.
Well described below, the interior is very basic with a dark colour scheme (black? blue?), modern pale herringbone floor, modern furniture; nothing from the late 19th century seems to have been retained. Décor amounts to rock memorabilia, seemingly all signed by members of the group whose name escapes me, their music playing over the stereo. Customers seemed to be tattooed types with beards and shaven heads, then students and a surprising number of East Europeans, the overall ambience being somewhat sedate, certainly not the sea of madness one might expect in a rockers’ pub.
Despite the heavy promotion of Robinson’s Trooper (obviously), it’s in bottle only with no cask, basic keg stuff running free with a half of Gamma Ray, £3.10, the number of the beast.
If you live locally the Cart may make for a convenient stop when coming home, but otherwise this isn’t my type of pub, but that said it makes for something different. It’s not hell on earth, but equally I didn’t feel the need to run to the hills.

The Birthplace of Iron Maiden indeed! Loads of Iron Maiden stuff on display with signed drumskins, records, artwork etc. I had been looking forward to this pub and I am glad I made the pilgrimage. There is a live music basement which is on till 3am. Plenty Maiden tribute acts as you would expect! On the beer front it was no surprise to see almost the full range of Robinson's Trooper ales in bottles. I'd happily call again. Well worth a visit.
