picture of StreetiesAn old Watney's pub with a curious name, Streeties is a locals' place in the strongest sense of that word. Its bare, ramshackle interior makes no false promises. Hardboard sections nailed to the floor wait for someone who's forgotten (or can't be bothered) to put a carpet down. A P.A. system and its cabling were strewn around the place, blocking access to a London Fives dartboard which looked like it hadn't seen action since Ron Greenwood was the guv'nor at Upton Park. A couple of West Ham F.C. pint glasses were spotted behind the bar too. No real ales on offer here - Flowers IPA is the sole (keg) bitter on tap. Crab sticks, mussels and cheese were put out on the bar for Sunday punters - the sole bright spot in an otherwise gloomy, disconsolate drinking experience.
