The Hare and Hounds, Leyton

This is a proper east end pub, great place to while away a couple of hours. Landlord and landlady try really hard to make this place work and always put a party on for an event. In the past we've had a wedding party for the royal wedding complete with wedding lunch, a jubilee party with cockney band and pimms and cucumber sandwiches, firework displays with BBQ and various bands at different times. Their Halloween party is fantastic with loads of people dressing up and prizes for the best dressed. Their food is all home oooked and curry night on a Wednesday is mouthwatering. Get down there, keep an eye on the boards outside for events, you may find yourself having a good time.

The King Edward VII, Stratford

What have they done to the Eddie!!! Have loved this pub for many years and was a great place to go, Victorian interior, great staff, friendly owner, alas no more. Since it changed hands it is now one of the worst pubs to drink in Stratford and that's saying something!! Last night there was an incongruent disco, no glasses for drinks, shorts being served in beer glasses and people dancing in the balcony area like they were on a podium in Ibiza. Maybe I'm getting old but it's not for me anymore. I agree with a previous reviewer that it's now like an overpriced goose, looks like my love affair with it is done
