An old pub and hotel overlooking Leyton Flats, that despite being a way from Leytonstone, it is really worth making the effort to go to.
The interior seems original (circa 1900), with a central bar and lots of partitions dividing the remaining space up into small nooks. There are some very comfortable sofas by the front windows, which offer pleasant views of the flats. In winter the open (gas) fire is often lit and there are usually a few board games and newspapers kicking around, making this a perfect winter pub!
The only disappointing aspect of the pub is the beer garden which only a small concrete patio.
Half of the downstairs is given over to the restaurant Spellbound, E11 1NP, which is vaguely South-African in flavour (reflecting the nationality of the present landlords).
The upper floors of the pub are run as a hotel, having about 20 rooms, with single rooms from 45UKP and double rooms from 55UKP (December 2003 prices).
