After a gap of 26 years, the Lord Napier, in Hackney Wick, London, has re-opened as the Lord Napier Star, part of Rob Star’s Electric Star Pubs.
Unique features include a huge 80-seater roof terrace boasting panoramic views across Hackney Wick, with two first floor function rooms that can be booked for private parties, meetings, and other gatherings.
As with all the Star pubs, music will be a heavy influence on the building, offering everything from old school R&B, soul, funk, and disco, to decent vocal house and good old house classics. Food will be provided by KraPow, a relatively new food collective that serves upThai flavours.
The outside graffiti has been updated, yet retains a strong connection with its roots with a team of established local artists headed up by one of the original painters.
Open from noon to late every day, with coffees, lunches, and other nibbles available throughout, the Lord Napier Star aims to be at the heart of the Hackney Wick community.
Rob Star, founder of Star’s Electric Pubs Group, said: “I’m really excited to finally get the doors open at The Napier. I’ve spent the last six years trying to re-open this historic building, so pouring that first pint and drinking it on the sun-soaked roof terrace felt extra special.”
