The Thomas Willingale, Chingford

I wasn't suprised to read some of the reviews, I live locally and used to hate this pub. One of my elderly neighbours who meets with her friends a couple of times a week for lunch there convinced me to give it another try. It has changed a lot to put it mildly. Ok, still full of young Essex posuers on Friday nights but then isn't the whole of this area after 9pm.
Any othertime I have visited, though, it's friendly, safe and welcoming with truly good real ales and a great pint of Guinness.
I had some bad experiences in this pub several years ago, but it's shown me that places can really move on.
Don't take my word for it.... try it for yourself.
