Nags Head

The Nag’s Head is the kind of neighbourhood pub that will make you a regular. Tucked away on Orford Road in Walthamstow Village, it’s bright, cosy and gloriously eccentric, welcoming ale drinkers, pizza fans and, crucially, cats and those who love them. The words above the bar – ‘Pizza, Ale, Cats’ – neatly sum up its priorities. Inside, faded sofas invite you to sink in for the afternoon, while a spacious beer garden provides plenty of room for sunny-day pints. There’s a warm, slightly scruffy charm to the place, with a genuine community feel and regular events including life drawing, pub quizzes and lots of live music adding to its character. There's plenty to do here, and that's why people come back for more.
