William IV

7 Shepherdess Walk
Shoreditch, London
N1 7QE
Tel: 020 3119 3012

In a sea of gastropubs, William IV's quality food and offbeat interior stands out among its peers. All-white tables, chairs, walls and fittings serve as a quirky twist away from dark-wood traditional pub décor, while healthy portions of British-inspired fare like mutton and pork chops make this the perfect spot to relax and dine in Shoreditch.

William IV reviews



This pub has recently changed hands. Apart from a few hiccups to begin with (an hour wait for some food and the cold bar), the place seems to be getting better and they have found their feet. The bar staff are really friendly and down-to-earth, making you feel really welcome. The atmosphere is fantastic, with great music. The food has got better (I recommend the lamb shank).

Go and have a drink, try some grub and see for yourselves!

Very bad experience there. No loud music was allowed to play after 11:30pm. Never going to host anything there. NOT recommended.

I went down to the William the other night and had a great time - relaxed, informal and very chilled. The food was great and the manager polite and efficient... perhaps he's learnt a lot since the last review over 18 months ago (see below). He was a true professional at his job.

The food was fantastic, the staff were amazing, but the manager was just a bit too ditzy. He made a continuous mess-up of our order and was totally oblivious, like it was the norm for him. Thank God his staff can clean up after him!
