thanks - i've walked past that pub but never been in, will pay a visit.
yeah, pretty much thinking of the area bounded by Norlington Rd, Grove Green Rd, High Rd Leyton, Hainault Rd.
Edit - not sure I'd want to be too far west of Francis Rd. One of the things I'm not fond of about our current place is being 10 yards off Hoe St.
ChasnotRobert-
I’ve had pals live round there for the last 5 odd years, it’s a great area, housing stick is pretty mixed and Francis road isn’t as vibrant as you’d first think, but still a nice area. My pal bought for 500k maybe 18 months back, total doer upper though. Place opposite went for north of a mil on TMH.
Pub is great, he’s a northern gobshite who’s made pals with every local he can.

E10 is hugely different from Road to Road. I’m on the Lea Bridge Road and the Warner estates are generally lovely but bridge court is a bit grim. I love the area just north of Blythe road but it feels a bit Essex. If I was going to do a proper move around Francis road ish I’d be looking at the space around the Northcote pub, west of grove green road (which apparently gets a bit rough). Northcote is one of the best pubs I’ve ever been to - dog friendly, drag friendly, West Ham working class geezer friendly - and lots of Victorian housing stock. Don’t go east of the high road or outside the 406.
We missed a place on oakdale road and I’ve been kicking myself ever since. Definitely a place someone could build a really nice life
