Inspection summary

London Pub has been inspected 26 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since July 10, 2015. The most recent inspection, on August 13, 2026, found no infractions.

11 of 26 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Protecting food from contamination and Pests.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 12 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2026. For example: The premises and all equipment, utensils, and food contact surfaces are maintained in good condition and used in a manner that ensures safe and sanitary food handling.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 2, 2019. For example: Each employee washes their hands as often as necessary to prevent the contamination of food.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2026. For example: Live animals are not allowed on the premises unless permitted under 25(2) of the FPR

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on September 10, 2024. For example: The Permit to Operate a food service establishment is valid and is posted in a conspicuous location.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 7 times on October 27, 2020. For example: Maximum number of patrons that can be accommodated on the premises has been determined

    Stopped in here for a pint during my travels. Came by solo, such a great atmosphere. Really like the vibe. Didn’t order any food but the drinks were cold and refreshing.

  • Chris Yeung

    It's a nice pub with large screens, and a London theme as shown with the menu. There's plenty of large tables and seating for customers. All games seem to be coin operated, so be sure to bring change if you want to play games.

    First impressions upon entering? Wow its very spacious! It's a very nice setup with games like pin ball, darts, and pool. It's even got music for your i! I came here for a boys night out a few times for ppv mma. But the biggest sport for me is rugby. I'm a huge New Zealand fan, ALL BLACKS BABY! As for the food, we only had nachos and wings, and they were decent. Nothing special but decent. As for the beers, they have a nice selection. From light to dark, local to overseas. Can't go wrong with the beers. This is also a great place to host a birthday as well. I can't speak for the food since the reviews had been pretty bad. My buddies and I just had those two appies and we were satisfied. Parking is easy on every corner. Game/ fight nights are nice here, I will definitely return for those. Service is a bit on the slow side and casual, but again keep in mind, it's a pub.

    English pub. Guinness and shandy(Radler for the germans) available. Higher end pub. Bouncer with good pizza across the road. Small dance floor for when they have DJ's. Higher end few cute ladies. People chat outside and vape. Higher end place to be seen. Mixed groups type place and friendly bartenders. You're not allowed to ask for Irish car bombs as it's considered racist. But if u whisper you want one they'll make it . Probably just a Canadian thing anyway.
