E6 ![]()
how to find it:
Nowhere near any train or tube (thus thankfully away from civilisation) the E6 bus(from Greenford tube a few miles away, or Hayes and Harlington rail in the opposite direction) stops pretty nearby, on Glencoe Road. Best bet as to an exact location is an A-Z. Enjoy.

We can only imagine how this place used to be. Quite possibly once a charming country inn, at some point it got cut off from normal society in a sea of dual carriageways, roundabouts, ugly council blocks and '80s new build houses. Now, sadly, it's a strong candidate for the worst pub in London. Perhaps some of Yeading's residents have been cut of from normal society for too long, but the behaviour of the majority of clientele on our visit was simply unacceptable. We knew we were in for a bad time when the abuse started from 40 feet away. Perhaps the fact we weren't wearing tacky sportswear made our arrival conspicuous, but at midday it was still a surprise to see shouty locals (with toddlers in tow) some drunk to the point of incoherence - and in one case, unconsciousness. Continual comments and thinly veiled threats in our direction, whilst sitting in a beer garden more reminiscent of a brownfield site, made our drink here the most unpleasant imaginable. The landlord may have been agreeable enough, but here it's clearly the lunatics who run the asylum.
