The King Edward VII is a Grade II listed former public house at 47 Broadway, Stratford, London. [1] It was on CAMRA's list of historic pub interiors. [2] The pub closed in late 2025. [2]

It was built in the early 18th century opposite St John's Church and has original pedimented doors and early 19th-century bay windows. [1] It was originally called "The King of Prussia", either in honour of Frederick the Great or else after King Frederick William IV, who visited the area in 1842 to meet Elizabeth Fry, the prison reformer. However, the name was changed at the start of World War I in 1914 for patriotic reasons. [3]
