An historic pub on the Isle of Dogs has reopened after a refurbishment.
Pictures of The Lord Nelson have been shared with The Advertiser after the pub started welcoming customers again last week.
The pub was taken over by Star Pubs & Bars earlier this year who announced the pub would be closing on January 7 to allow for the £220,000 works to be undertaken.

Cara Venn, operator of The Lord Nelson, said: "We had a really busy weekend when we opened. The pub was packed out.
"Customers love the new look, which is bright, open yet warm and welcoming."
The revamped pub features a new pool table, TV screen, and darts board, and has been kitted out with plenty of seats and tables for visitors.
