Lower Wick is in the south west extremity of the city of Worcester, next door to the St. John's area. The Maple Leaf is the local estate pub for this large housing estate, where all the roads have Canadian themed names. The pub follows this practice, by being named after the national flag of Canada. The pub is on the corner of Canada Drive and Labrador Road. Canada Drive is the main estate road. The pub has a carvery, as well as Sky Sports. Perhaps understandably, the pub doesn't use the Canadian flag as its sign; in fact it doesn't seem to have a traditional type of sign at all. When photographed, it did have a St. George's flag in one window. No doubt a leftover from the 2010 Work Cup football competition.
