A quick lunchtime visit. A bit of a queue to be served as I arrived just behind a large group.

I arrive home after a long flight from South America to find the house cold and the cupboard bare. To the Technical then to eat whilst the place warms up.

All five rooms here have diners at 6pm on a Sunday, not just the dining room. No live music today though, which is disappointing as it was part of the reason I came in.

Very busy ahead of football at Brisbane Road. There is a dubious-looking group of visiting supporters in. A couple of police constables are keeping a wary eye at the door, and the manager is kept busy relieving under-age drinkers of pints acquired for them by older members of the group.

Five Points - Green Hop Goldings3.70GoodGood, that completes the Five Points Green Hop set for me for this year.

A brief mid-evening visit. With both Leyton Orient and West Ham having played home matches in the area today it is a wonder they have any beer left.

A late-afternoon visit, spoilt by a shouting match at the bar between two customers, one of whom subsequently started touting ‘magic tricks’ around the tables.

The pub is found in Leyton, Greater London, E10 5OJ.

In High Road, initially this pub existed as a short-term ‘Pop-Up’ pub, open for the duration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Then closed for nearly a year, it re-opened on a permanent basis in August 2013. The pub is housed in part of the former Leyton Town Hall. It has several different rooms in which to drink, and the toilets are housed deep in the dungeons. The interior of the pub is now very much more homely and comfortable than it appears in my early photo on this site from its pop-up days. Reclaimed by landlord and closed on October 2022, after alleged non-payment of rent. Re-opened under operation of Remarkable Pubs with a change of name in September 2024.

We have visited this pub 125 times, seen 256 different beers and tried 139 of them.
