This pub was established by 1828 and for most of its history was a
Charrington’s pub. Previously known as The Yorkshire Grey,
it
closed in around 1999 and was demolished in 2005 after lying derelict for
several years. |

Around 1980/84 we used to visit the
charleston usually Thursday nights due to our love of jazz funk soul this
pub had a dj that played all the latest tunes and the pub atmosphere was
relaxed and friendly Never had the feeling that it would end in a fight
great memories of nights out with mates and even took a few girls on dates
to the pub it was easy to park outside and also had easy public transport
with nearby Maryland station |

days |

This was 'The' pub to drink in 1980-1985. You could see
who was in the pub by the great cars lined up along Leytonstone high
road. It had a circular bar in the middle of the pub and a great DJ. |

I used to love working behind the bar at the
Charleston and used to dance to the great jazz funk tunes played by the
resident Dj whilst serving our customers It was a very busy bar and
sometimes the place would be so packed that the customers would be as
far back as the door waiting to be served. Who remembers the roast
potatoes, sausages and other bits we used to put on the bar
complimentary ? |
