The Kings Head was situated at
761 High Road.
One of the early Leyton pubs, standing beside what is now Leyton Green – it
was present by 1686. By the 1820 the pub was the departure point for
coaches from Leyton to London. The last date I have seen for the pub was
1856 and it was said to have been mostly demolished by 1868, although one
wall apparently lingered on into the 1920s. |
