East India Arms

East India Arms

There has been a pub on the site since 1630 but the current East India Arms was built in 1829.Just round the corner from Fenchurch Street station, this small, one-roomed traditional pub is very popular with City workers mostly in insurance at lunchtime and early evening.It takes its name from the British East India Trading Company one of the longest surviving and richest of the trading companies, exercising a powerful influence on British colonial policy.There's a plaque on the outside wall giving a brief history of the company from its incorporation in December 1600 to its demise in the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny 1857-59.The pub is listed in the CAMRA and Time Out guides.
