Exile living in Leyton here. Northcote isn’t a bad option at all, with the usual away spot the Technical being refurbed. Don’t bother with the Coach and Horses or the Star, they will be checking tickets (C + H definitely). Eagle isn’t bad 10 min past the Star if you want something a bit quieter. The Birkbeck (5 min from the station) is ok as well (no colours) with a big garden and loads of parking on the road outside for those driving! Deeneys is great if anyone is in the market for a brunch/lunch full fry, rest of the high st remains a bit of a sh1thole up to the stadium unless you want a vape or a haircut
