About Lord Napier Star

Hackney Wick's only pub reborn as a graffiti-clad landmark, with three bars, a Thai kitchen, karaoke room and a 360-degree rooftop terrace over the canals.

Shuttered for over two decades, this 1868 East End boozer roared back to life in 2021 as the beating heart of Hackney Wick. Every surface is wrapped in bold street-art murals, and the fun spreads across three bars, a karaoke room and a Thai kitchen turning out fragrant curries. Climb to the 80-seat rooftop for panoramic views over the canals and the Olympic Park. Craft beers, cocktails and a proper neighbourhood buzz make it a Wick institution.
