A great little boozer. The bar is tiny. I understand it used to be an even smaller off licence. Beer generally good. Only place for a drink between Blackhorse Road and Walthamstow Marshes. No cycle parking but you can sit outside in the Summer.

Couldn't agree less with Frank and Eric below. My physical appear is quite the opposite to the locals but although they can be rough around the edges I've found them to be no bother at all. Julian the landlord has just opened a new little beer yard too so now I can meet my missus there after work and bring our little girl along too. The barman in ther last Friday was a real gent too. I've been drinking the GK IPA which is rarely an outstanding ale but I've had no reason for complaint. The Coppermill is getting better all the time I reckon.

Great local in the public house desert that is the St James Street and Blackhorse Road district of E17. Julian is an accomodating landlord (I even fed my 11 month old daughter her tea in the pub once), the Fullers beer is well kept especially the ESB and it popular with cyclists as it's on route to the River Lea, the marshes and Springfield Park E5 from Walthamstow Central. I am growing to like this place more and more.

If your dog is going to pi** up the fruit machine ,
run about in the pub and is obviously not trained then the manager is entitled to have a go.
Do yourself a favour and learn some etiquette !

Has more of a 'country pub' feel than any other pub in Walthamstow, located as it is on the edge of the marshes by the canal/river. A well-kept pub serving a good range of well-kept ales.

This is a truly wonderful Spurs pub !
The Spurs fans in here are true diamonds !
This is a smallish pub which is unfortunate for me as I take up half the pub !
Do you remember the milky bar kid ? Well that's me only 40 years older and 40 stones heavier !
My claim to fame is that I've got more chins than a chinese phone directory !
The beer in here is second to none !

This is a great pub, although it is very small and if you dont get a seat, you are very close to eeveryone else. Beer is good and has outside seating as well

This is a cracking pub, and yes it is a local, in the truest sense of the word. Neither me or my other half are from London, but the welcome is always warm and friendly. The Fullers ESB is one of the best kept ales I have ever tasted. The last time I went there for the Sunday night quiz, the winner donated the prize to charity and the Landlord doubled the prize.
In a world of plastic theme pubs, the Coppermill stands out as a gem.

i rated this pub 1..becuase the guiness is excellent! it is a local pub for local people, who sadly think they own it! well lets face it, if your face does not fit..dont bother, or if your ethnic or gay! the same faces year in rear out! this pub needs to be closed down for a few months..just to remind the regulars that there is a life out there! it is a shame as this could be a cracking pub!

I used to be a local but moved to the coach and horses in stoke newington which has better beer and is more gay friendly. Check it out in Gay Times.

I love this place but then I am a local. There isn't a great range of beers on tap but you cant beat a pint of bitter at this pub. Yes this is a local pub for local people but me and my lesbian partner Gina have always got a warm welcome here, which is a lot more than I can say about the many anti gay pubs in Walthamstow.

A really nice backstreet local but woe betide winning the Sunday night quiz if your accents not local.

Imagine building a bar in your front room; put 6 pumps on it and12 optics on the wall. Then go down the local charity shop and buy all their old books, coloured glass bottles and jars and broken fishing equipment. Place all this old junk in a haphazard way around the room and don’t dust them for 10 years. Then hang your telly in the corner of the room and whack a fag machine on the wall. What have you got? The Coppermill pub. I should love this pub because I use it so much but then that’s easy for me to say because I’m a local. If you don’t live within a 2 mile radius of this pub…beware. A few of the regulars have their names above their seats painted on boards and whoa betide anyone who sits in them…..I’m not joking, you couldn’t make it up! But forget the locals who are afraid to move out of their comfort zone and have a chat with the head barman Wayne…..top man.

Is it the last real local boozer in London? - probably. Stuck down the end of Coppermill Lane near the marches (a fave escape run for burglars & joyriders). It's small, slightly overdecorated and has a really nice atmosphere (& some decent bitter too).
