“Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son” – Iron Maiden.
Visiting The Birthplace Of Iron Maiden: Cart And Horses, London, England
I wrote about some musical backpacking sights of London before. On that trip I backpacked Pulp, Oasis, The Clash, The Beatles and Iron Maiden. Sadly the day I visited Iron Maiden, the pub of their birthplace, was shut for renovation. I was there on 1st January 2020, just before the world was thrown intill chaos with the coronavirus pandemic.

Then in 2023, again when backpacking 🎒 in London, England 🏴 🇬🇧, I also visited The Cart And Horses Pub, The birthplace of heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It’s at Maryland on The Elizabeth 🟣 Tube Line.

Getting to The Cart And Horses, Maryland, London
You can either go to Maryland or West Ham train station – both are okay and walkable. I have actually done it both ways, use your Oyster Card (standard in London) and you can try the purple Elizabeth Line which opened not long before Queen Elizabeth II died.

Turn left out of Maryland station and keep walking and you can’t miss it – The Cart And Horses sits on a prominent corner.

Pints At The Cart And Horse, London, England
This time it was open although we only had time for two quick beers, even though we wanted a bite. The reason was we had booked a train to Birmingham that night and had to rush back to Euston. Rafal Kowalczyk, my best friend and a huge Iron Maiden was delighted that the bar was open this time. Here are a few photos from the trip.

We just opted for the cheapest beer on tap and chilled out for about an hour or so. It was good to finally tick this one off.

They have some great Iron Maiden beers there. Tropper and 666..
Yeah I know and we only skipped them due to budget, I had the Tropper in Poland though – cheaper here! Number of the Beast loyalty.
