This place is nothing short of amazing. Its the hub of the community and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Where else could you be sitting on Walthamstow "beach" one day and listening to outstanding classical musicians the next.... at a place where you can take your mates or the family for pizza and chips and a decent beer, including the dog. The kids love the atmosphere and enjoy a dafe environment to play. First class

Great warehouse-ish place to watch sports and events and stuff. Huge, there’s always space. Also big outside space. Food is average but they do have food. Loads of beers, this is the main focus.

When it's good, it's very good. It's probably between a 4 and 5 star venue. The big penny being an event space it very much depends on the event. I have been to live sports on the big screen which were ok. I've been to a DJ event which was very empty despite the DJ being great. We just went to the annual dog show which was great fun. ⚽🎧🐕
