Drinks & Nightlife

This is London's first community owned pub and is legendary! There's always something going on in the Ivy House from a pub quiz, yoga class to live music. The pub was used in the film about the Krays, "Legend" starring Tom Hardy. Good selection of beers and they also serve food. If you're lucky you can catch a local jazz band rehearsing on a Sunday afternoon.
