It was built in 1935 for Truman's Brewery and designed by Eedle and Meyers. [1]

It was Grade II listed in 2015 by Historic England. [1]

The pub was used as a filming location during the TV series Luther for the third episode of the third series [2] and the 2010 short film Half Hearted. [3]

In 2024 the Guardian reported that "In the Palm Tree pub, east London, barman Alf is taking only cash at the rattling 1960s till. The building, which is Grade II-listed, stands in the middle of Mile End Park, and Alf has worked here since 1976."

Time Out ranked the pub at 5th in its list of best pubs in London. [4]
