The Royal Oak is a Grade II listed public house at 73 Columbia Road, Bethnal Green,[1] London, E2.
It was built in 1923 for Truman's Brewery, and probably designed by their in-house architect A. E. Sewell.[2]
It was Grade II listed in 2015 by Historic England.[2]
The pub has appeared in the TV series Goodnight Sweetheart,[3] the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and the 2015 film Legend.[4]
In July 2020, the previously independently ran pub was bought by the chain Young's.
