The Keys
A proper neighbourhood pub on Ely Street where locals actually drink, with real ale and unpretentious charm.

You'll find The Keys tucked away on Ely Street, just a short walk from the riverside bustle but worlds away from the tourist-trap vibe of Bridge Street. This is where Stratford feels like a real town—where people prop up the bar on a Tuesday evening, not to Instagram their pint, but to actually enjoy it. The place has that lived-in comfort of a proper local, with the kind of welcome that makes you want to come back regularly rather than just once.
