The spot

Why go here?

You can hear the Brisbane Road tannoy from the bar. The Coach & Horses embodies everything brilliant about lower-league London football: friendly, unfussy, and right on the doorstep of the ground.

  • Next door to Brisbane Road, you hear the tannoy from the bar
  • Classic east London boozer, no chain-pub feel
  • Friendly to away fans, this is a proper football town
  • Cask kept well, lager poured fast
  • O's regulars who have been doing this for decades
  • Lower-league London at its best

Best moment to visit

Saturday afternoon at three

  • First pint as the team walks out
  • Hearing the tannoy from the bar
  • The thirty-second walk to the turnstile
  • A post-match pint to relive the result

Heads up: arrive at least an hour early. The pub fills fast and the bar is the right size, not enormous.
