A lovingly restored watering hole (that's more like a watering crater) with an unearthed skylight that lets a flood of natural light in, an epic-sized function room for all your more than functional needs, and (we're going to say it) the Biggest Beer Garden in Leytonstone.

That's the building, but what's going on inside & out? We've got the big games on Sky/TNT Sports so you can watch all of the best live sporting action. Also, it would be remiss of us not to have some seriously brilliant music programming on, from low-key loveliness to a bit of hands-in-the-air DJ action. 

The main attraction though will be our carefully curated cornucopia of drinks to tantalise the taste buds, with a food menu lovingly curated by The Drago Flame. 

We've got it all, but without you, our Star doesn't shine. We don't do 'regeneration' and just plonk down without a care for the community, so, we want to get to know you, know what you want, and the beauty of it is, you can chat with us on social media, or, pssst, just chat to us in the pub. We want your old stories, magnificent memories and new ones to be made.

The Leyton Star, formerly The King Harold pub, opened on 21st July 2016. The venue has been fully rejuvenated with the Electric Star group's signature brand of community hangouts packed with personality, and bursting with great food, cracking booze and genuinely lovely staff.

The Leyton Star offers a number of weekly promotions including Thursday night's 'two for £12' cocktail offer as well as 'Margarita Mondays', in addition to housing a great selection of wines, kegs, cask ales and lagers. We have quizzes, DJs, sports screenings and everyone's favourite Lucky Voice Karaoke upstairs. When the sun is shining it's £5 Aperols every Friday until 7pm!

Hackney-based artist Lady Ray added her creative flair to the interior, having previously worked her magic on the decor of both The Star by Hackney Downs and The Jackdaw and Star. A mix of the classic and contemporary, the main bar has been painstakingly resurrected, quite literally returning from the ashes after having been ripped out and dumped in the cellar. The space has been completely redesigned with brand spanking new carpets and banquettes, stylishly surreal wallpaper by Timouros Beasties adorning the walls and a re-commissioned fireplace.

The sprawling outdoor terrace at the rear is decked out with two golden palm tree light fixtures used as part of a set design used on Paloma Faith's Fall To Grace tour, purchased in a charity auction.  Boasting a sea of seating areas, including a raised section with 8 private heated cabanas and a small function space.

Leyton Star

Star in Shoreditch is not your regular sports bar, but a mix of eclectic DJ nights, intimate live music gigs, sports on the screens, cocktails, decent beers & kitchen residencies. We may have rats and rodents but we are dealing with it best we can! We have flies in our alcohol but we make sure to filter them out good as new!  There is no better place to catch the sun, watch a match or the world go by than the big terrace at the front but be careful as most of our tables are unfortunately broken. Screens around the venue & two big projector screens (one doesn’t work) but come down for busier matches.
