The Bell in Waltham Forest

The best pub in East London. Great atmosphere and quality drinks. It has that Leytonstone vibe.

Another traditional local pub. Nicely located in Leytonstone High Road. Situated directly between the Fire Station and what was the Police station (get it?)☺️ (edit) August 2023 There is a Caribbean food hut outside, I assume on weekends only. Very nice food. Pub as far as I know doesn't do food in general (Edit) May 2024 Not sure if the food van is still outside. I'm guessing not. ** Pub under new management ** Friendly bar staff, lively (but friendly regulars). Changes on a few draft beers. Low prices and live sporting events (many screens). When sport isn't showing or request the staff controlled duke box or MTV on screens play popular 80's 90's music including club classics. Now back to being a good pub to visit.

Local pub with a bit of character. Good range of drinks.

Brilliant night barmaids are Brilliant

Nothing wrong with it we had a wake here only problem I HAD was they made kids leave the premises at 7 and wouldn't serve untill they left even outside but kids don't go pub so can't complain I suppose nothing wrong with the bell

Terrible place, every time they open people are fighting on the street even at late night. Just stay at home and have a camomile.

a locals only pub i have drunken in a couple of times and it's seemed fairly harmless from the outside but i often sense a great evil lurking inside late at night

Great cheap pub in Leytonstone with a great crowd, service and an authentic atmosphere... Also a great place to watch the footie or any other sports... Did we also mention that they've got a pool table

Very pleasant place and really competitive prices

Great community pub in Leytonstone..

Simple, but nice staff and cheap drinks

Good prices, plenty of outdoor sitting.

Дешеве пиво, більярд за півтора фунти. Немає кухні.

Nice pub. Pop in here sometimes. Staff are always polite. And people that are there are always friendly. Its deft a locals place. Always see someone i know in here as i live in leytonstone. Been here on a Friday night and sat nite as well. Always had a great time. Good music. Good local place to go. I dont think they do food. But if they did they would make a killing. I recommend this place

Sólo fui a tomar un refresco pero el ambiente muy bueno. Económico.

Didn’t order food. We had a pint and a gin+tonic for £8! Nice atmosphere. Will surely come back again.

Kev and Anne who’ve taken this pub on deserve 100 stars they’ve transformed the place with enthusiasm and hard work. It’s the friendliest place for miles.

Love this place nice staff great music ,cheap beer what more can you ask for.

I went to meet up with friends for a drink and catch up, we did not order food. Very nice welcoming atmosphere great landlords.

The Tomahawk steak was by far the tastiest ever. But with the potato gratin instead of fries this dish was more than anything in food heaven. Lovely decor, Friendly staff. I can't recommend this steakhouse highly enough. Thank you Landlord Kevin of the Bell Pub across the road for recommendation.

Nice tasting Carling and fair price too

Popped in here with a friend as it is her local pub. I have to say it was very welcoming and had a lovely atmosphere with the locals doing karaoke and the friendly, helpful bar staff. They drinks are very reasonably priced, and there is a great selection on offer of alcohol and non alcoholic drinks. There was a bit of a wait for the pool table, but it wasn't too bad. The toilets were clean and well stocked, and the seating area was also very clean and tidy. There is an outside smoking area and always has polite security too. I would return here

Nice and friendly, affordable prices.

NYE. Good music. Staff were very busy but very polite.

Good bar very cheap pint £2.05 for john smiths

Great boozer , and unusually good and cheap pints! Sadly went back on Sat to watch the England Vs Springboks rugby, but they didn't have the channel so a few of us went elsewhere. Still a great spot for a pint.

Evening drink with friends, watching world cup

They did up the interior But it's the same clientele and well hum...

There was a dead fly in my drink! I told the lady bartender and she questioned me how it got there, then reluctantly replaced it without an apology! Awful stroppy service!!

Nice pub, good atmosphere . There's pool table, darts and big TVs

Cheap and cheerful. Proper friendly local

A plain but welcoming pub on the High Street. The Bell is a great place with plenty of beer from the keg on offer with a couple of pumps available for cask offerings. Even a pool table for the sporty among us! There is also a sizable courtyard garden at the rear for the outdoor lovers. All in all, a fine place indeed!

Nice pub , plenty of tellies. Clean loos and a good garden

Cheap and cheerful, friendly gaff

Disappointments Disabled toilet is a store cupboard . Happy points Visited while Ska n mash was DJing the Jamaica independence gig. Cheap and cheerful. Had a satisfying evening with the regulars.

£2.75 the pint of Guinness! And the bathroom is great and clean!

Really nice atmosphere and cheap drinks. 👌

Great pub next to Fire Station. Very accessible with garden front and back. Traditional Leytonstone drinking place. Very good prices.

walked in to meet a friend. had to take my hat off?! not very welcoming environment. seems like a 'locals only' sort of place. wont be back

Awesome pub! Will is a great manager! Certainly recommend!

Lively, mixed age group community pub. Friendly atmosphere. Good selection of drinks. Music isn't too loud, so conversation is possible.

Service and environment are ok, decent range of drinks on offer.

Always a friendly atmosphere and very cheep first class beer

Friendly and helpful staff. Cheap beer as well.

Great local pub. £2.75 for a pint of Guinness in London! Unbelievable value. Good dome on the pour too.

Great atmosphere. Nice staff, and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Great value for money. Homely pub

Nice pub, good prices and fast service. Close to the station.

Wow great entertainment lots of people and buzzing

Fantastic pub staff Fantastic 👌

I have mixed feelings about this place. It's an old-fashioned boozer of a type I thought had disappeared, being devoted to football, with absolutely HUGE screens on every possible wall, so when a game is on, there's no escape. Given the location, it was full of West Ham supporters, who were in an unusually jovial mood, as their team was winning, and going top of the league in the process. Devotees of the kick up the grass will know just how unusual this is, and a look at the fixture list and league table is advisable for anyone who is not a fan of the hammers before your visit. On the occasion of mine, I was disappointed to see that no ales were available, and as I don't enjoy the gassy mediocrity of the yellow stuff with nicknames such as wifebeater, I had to settle for a pint of the black stuff, which was its usual bland and boring self. The staff were friendly, the local cribbage team companionable, and my partner and I were able win, thus salvaging something from an otherwise unrewarding evening. The chips were nice as well

OK very noisy at weekends it's a pub

Cheap, friendly and real. I've missed places like this both during lockdown and since moving to London. Big screens, nice Guinness, fun crowd.

Staff are nice and the drinks are cheap... good value

Great pub, great prices and very good service Would definitely recommend

Great place to watch the Euros, loads of screens, decent beer & service

Had a quick pint thete yesterday with a mate. All decked out for Euro 2020 and table service currently. Their Pizza's are really good and they bring 'em out with your booze. Backgarden in shade for summer evenings drinking! Great place to watch live sports.

clean bar, delicious beer, great service.

It was ok, the continual insistence mask whilst in the pub . I found it difficult/impractical to drink through the mask 😕 .

Fab, friendly pub! A good night out.

Super cheap, no frills, could offer more snacks being a pub, back garden definitely a different world to the front one. Decent local

It was really good ,social distancing was adhered to really nice cocktails at a good price

Great St George's day, Great company, and cheap beer 🍺

Excellent customer service, friendly staff

Good pub , well run during this covid 19 period. Definitely go back

Se puede ver partidos de fútbol en directo de Champiñones Leage y de la Premier además de tener buena selección de cervezas y personal muy atentos, un pub Ingles muy agradable a tener en cuenta

Típico Pub Ingles muy agradable para beber unas cervezas

Great pub cheaper than Wheatherspoons. Brilliant staff and governor

The Bell pub is a proper pub..Clean toilets and good service. Seating area to front of pub. Garden area with television and garden seating. BUT most of all,the prices of their beer are cheaper than the over priced pubs local North Chingford where the prices 30 to 40persent more expensive. Same beer much more expensive ?????

Really nice atmosphere x plus really friendly staff x The pub is a bit old style, not a lot of young people, but definitely give it a go x

Best pub in Leytonstone Staff and management super friendly and professional. Will back....have been back 😂

Met some friends here for the first time since lockdown. Lovely pub, cheap drinks and great staff. Will definitely be back soon.

Well managed and great atmosphere

Not only is it the best pub in East London but the staff are 100% friendly & always willing to help/serve

Great beer extremely cheap prices very friendly staff good family atmosphere great to watch sports biggest screen ever on the wall tvs everywhere you look darts and pool table and a nice beer garden in the back definitely recommend this pub

Proper East End boozer with the cheapest prices you're likely to find.

A good all round pub, decent drink, decent people, decent entertainment.

Fantastic pub for fri and sat entertainment along with good service overall

Nice atmosphere, cheap beer and good darts

The place is not to bad .The crowd was mostly elderly people's but the drinks were reasonable price.

Great atmosphere at great prices

The band on Saturday was absolutely brilliant and a great crowd of people, but you must be in before 11pm

Large place. Reasonably priced beers. Pool table darts and tv screens.

A pub with no think going for it management whevere new or old seem to allow the same riff raff in to keep a dying business a float the pub is segregated as you walk in on the right is an area often filled with drug dealers or intimidating figures and the left side is the regular bums that have no think better to do all day and night often a lot of trouble there involving management and customers there is no security often people are way to intoxicated people have often smashed property e.g. doors and windows when drunk in anger and are still allowed to come and go this place is better left to die and hope that the owners realise they need to drasticly change that venue over than that it's ok I would recommend finding a better pub close by

Nice and friendly, great bar staff and entertainment

great value for money definitely get down there for a drink well recommended

Nice refurbished! Only the telly to loud on a Sunday afternoon hard to talk with someone.

great wee pub good friendly bar staff good beer nice rum wine

Friendly staff, sky sports, fairly priced. A proper boozer.

Good atmosphere, very decent prices. Karaoke most or every Friday with different hosts

Cheap pub, only downside is no ale worth drinking. Strictly lager and Guinness

Its a cosy little pub. Good service and friendly atmosphere. You always have access to a bus stop.

No real ale when I visited on a Sunday

Proper old school locals pub, friendly staff that would make me go back again and beer cheaper than water is great, has a dart board next to a pool table so only one down side I could see, toilets very clean

This was one of my locals in my twentys. So nice to go back and see a few familiar faces and bring back a few memories. Still a nice pub and bubbly atmosphere.

Nice place for a pint. It can get really tricky to get a place for playing pool.

Great place for drink, no food tea or coffee, karaoke on weekend, sound!
