Chop Shop Tavern

Chop Shop Tavern sits beneath the historic railway arches on Tilbury Road, E10, offering an intimate hideaway with industrial charm. Its interiors fuse raw brickwork and reclaimed wood with candlelit booths, creating a warm, atmospheric space that feels both rugged and refined. Vintage scaffold boards line the walls, while flickering real candles and dim lighting set the tone for late-night conversations. Outside, a small seating area adds a casual touch for summer evenings.

The tavern’s unique selling point is its focus on craft drinks and character. Expect six rotating taps of locally brewed beers, alongside an impressive whiskey and mezcal selection curated by passionate bartenders. Founded by Danny Saunders, the creative mind behind Leyton Calling, Chop Shop Tavern reflects his deep roots in the area - this very arch was once his teenage garage. With a 2am. license on weekends and a reputation for inventive cocktails, it’s fast becoming Leyton’s go-to spot for those who love quality drinks in a distinctive setting.
