Pubs in the region

As Londoners, we cherish our local pubs. Lower Clapton has some great go-to spots. From smaller, more family run chains to larger pubs like WeatherSpoons, there is a pub for everyone in the area.

Pub name Name	Address	Description
Anchor & Hope	15 High Hill Ferry Clapton E5 9HG	One of Fuller’s smallest pubs, on the bank of the River Lea and dating from about 1850. Refurbished a couple of years ago, it has one bar with wood panelling and a dartboard at the rear, with a wood fire and bar at the front. Drinkers include wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers, boaters and locals. Barbecues in summer, it is worth seeking out. Featured in 2017 film Anchor & Hope includes the landlord as an extra!
Clapton Hart	231 Lower Clapton Road Clapton E5 8EG	This multi-roomed Antic pub is a real oasis. Eight handpumps serve a changing range of ales, mostly from small breweries. Staff are helpful, with tasters readily offered. The interior could be described as shabby chic, with an assortment of furniture and bric-a-brac. No TV in one room, though there is wi-fi. Wheelchair access is via a ramp that must be asked for.
Crooked Billet	84 Upper Clapton Road Clapton E5 9JP	Refurbished in July 2013 retaining the wood panelling but now a single room. The 4-5 cask ale focus on local beers from breweries such as Redemption, Five Points and East London. Large garden with a number of comfortable seating alcoves. Taken over by Young’s October 2023 – beer focus may have changed.
Elderfield	57 Elderfield Road Clapton E5 0LF	Very nice backstreet local which has evolved along with its neighbourhood. It was previously the Priory Tavern and then the Eclipse. Built in the 1860s, it was redone in 1935 and is on Camra’s Regional Inventory of Real Heritage Pubs because much of its interwar interior has survived, including a two-room layout, a circular ceiling feature with concealed lighting (which looks much more modern), wood panelling, bar-back and counter, fireplace. Plenty of weekly entertainments.
Princess Of Wales	146 Lea Bridge Road Clapton E5 9RB	Large one bar pub broken into multiple areas with a mixture of seating including a cosy settee in front of a stove. There is outside seating by the side of the River Lea and the Lea Valley Walk. Pub is close to the Lea Valley Ice Centre .Now part of the Geronimo division of Young’s, this pub has gone more upmarket. The beer range varies but this usually includes something from Young’s . This was the one Young’s pub in the East End that did not revert to Whitbread.
Royal Sovereign	64 Northwold Road Clapton E5 8RL	One-bar pub with collection of regulars’ ties cut whilst being worn. Open brickwork on most walls. Darts and pool. Children’s outdoor area and garden with fish pond and aviary. Snacks at all times.
Star By Hackney Downs	35 Queensdown Road Clapton E5 8NN	Renamed from the Three Sisters and refurbished in 2013. They describe themselves as “showcase for Hackney’s talented creatives”. Sister pub to the Star of Kings Cross being operated by the Electric Star group.
