To say that the British backstreet public house is an increasingly rare sight in Britain would be an understatement. The Coppermill Tavern is a good one. Coppermill Lane itself is a popular thoroughfare for cyclists and walkers on route to the Lee Valley park, Walthamstow marshes and Springfield Park in Clapton so to those in the know it's not as tucked away as some might suggest. In fact this end of Walthamstow is much closer to central London than the more popular Village area some distance to the east.
The Coppermill Tavern always seems to have three ales on hand-pump including a guest and I've found them to be well kept at all times. The pub is very much an after work venue as I've found that it will clear out about 9pm when every has had there fill having started early.
The interior is characterful too with cabinets of curiosities and signs featuring in-jokes above the various seating areas. In recent years they have opened up a small yard to the side to act as smoking area, it's not glamorous but clean and private with tables and chairs. I often found myself chatting to other customers when seated in the yard.
This pub needs to be supported, please don't be put of by a strong London accent, they don't bite.
Get a bike, take a ride around the marshes and the river and pop into the Coppermill on your way home. Ace.
