The Running Horse Aldgate

Welcome to The Running Horse in Aldgate, just a stone's throw from Aldgate East station and ready to be your new local in the City. We're here for the after-work pints, the birthday celebrations, the team drinks that run late, and those lazy Sunday afternoons when cooking feels like too much effort.  Settle into one of our semi-private spots with a craft beer or a well-made cocktail, tuck into rotisserie chicken or a proper smash burger, and on Sundays, let us sort you out with a roast that's worth the trip. Whatever brings you through the door, we've got the space, the drinks, and the food to make it good.
