About Birkbeck Tavern
Traditional local (a free house since 1991), tucked away in the back streets near Leyton tube station, very popular on Orient match days with both home and away fans. The excellent beer garden is recommended for summer. Was taken over by Barter Inns in 2012 (now known as Town Centre Inns). Two separate bars, with smaller public bar on the corner, connecting round the back of the servery to a medium-sized lounge were the real ales can be found. Quite blokey, with juke box, sports on TV, pool and darts. Happy Hour weekdays 11-7 when Rita's Beer (Courage Best in Oct 2019) is £3 a pint.

One of East London's best beer gardens, spacious and green, feels like you're at your grandma's place for Easter lunch. Service with a smile and a chat, decent selection of drinks and reasonably priced for London. Pour a good Guiness

Decent pub about 7 minutes walk from Leyton underground station and about 18 minutes from Brisbane Road. Two cask beers on handpump when I visited. Lots of outdoor seating some of it covered.

A delightful building housing a lovely pub. The Birkbeck Tavern is an excellent place to drop in for a beer when you find it on the backstreets of Leyton. Lovely atmosphere. Nearly missed out on 5🌟, due to unavailability of cask ales and Guinness however, a technical issue that will be resolved soonest. A great pub for all!

Proudly old fashioned pub in the Leyton backstreets with a good ale range and a lively but never intimidating weekend atmosphere. A beloved institution among Orient fans
