The King of Prussia, numbered 47 on Broadway, Stratford, London, is a historical Grade II listed establishment. This pub, built in the early 18th century, was originally called "The King of Prussia", either in honour of Frederick the Great or after King Frederick William IV, who visited the area in 1842 to meet the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry.
The pub lies opposite St John's Church and was on CAMRA's list of historic pub interiors. It closed in late 2025 and reopened after a major renovation in September 2026. The building features original pedimented doors and early 19th-century bay windows.
Originally named for its royal connection, the pub's name was changed at the start of World War I in 1914 for patriotic reasons.
