Clapton Hart – 231 Lower Clapton Road E5 8EG | 020 8985 8124
The Clapton Hart dates back to the 18th Century.
Originally the White Hart Hotel in 1722, it was rebuilt in the 1830s after it was destroyed by fire and again in 1890 as a brewery pub.
Situated by the roundabout next to Clapton Pond, the Clapton Hart is a friendly pub serving the local community.
Every effort was made to maintain the pub’s original aesthetics, with the addition of a large beer garden, The Hart is bright and spacious with bare-brick walls and high ceilings yet still cosy enough to find a cosy corner to play board games or snuggle up to an open fire.
A modest sized bar is home to eight Cask hand-pumps and several guest kegs.

London's Best Sunday Roasts: Rated And Mapped | Londonist
food location menu ambience value drinks reservations
The Albion, 10 Thornhill Road, N1 1HW Born out of Hoxton Street’s Bacchus — which has since closed — the weekly Bacchus Sundays pop-ups ensure that at least the best bit of the pub keeps going: its Sunday roasts.
It’s caveman cooking but with much more finesse — large portions of meat to hunker down on are accompanied by creative sides and starters, duck fat roast potatoes and large, fluffy Yorkshires.
The Old Red Cow, 71-72 Long Lane, EC1A 9EJ Older sister pub of The Pig & Butcher, just as much care has gone into the meat sourcing at this venue, where beef sirloin, pork rib-eye, lamb shoulder and poussin are all on the regular Sunday menu.
Canton Arms, 177 South Lambeth Road, SW8 1XP The Sunday menu here features a nice line in sharing meats for two, be it rib of beef, rack of lamb or a whole chicken.
On our roast beef there was no such thing as going easy on the fat — rather, the meat was cooked slowly until it melted to become part of the dish, a behemoth of flavour in a pool of gravy.

Clapton Hart | Bars and pubs in Lea Bridge, London
food
It recently opened three pubs in one fortnight across London – the Catford Bridge Tavern, the Sylvan Post in Forest Hill and Pratt’s & Payne, formerly a Goose in Streatham Hill – taking its current total (both serving and in production) to 29.
And this one’s interesting – the former White Hart Hotel (briefly Chimes, a music venue) stands alone beside the desperately unlovely Lea Bridge Road roundabout, and is so far the only pub in this part of ‘up-and-coming’ Clapton that has spruced itself up in preparation for the influx of up-and-comers.
Someone’s had great fun furnishing and embellishing the Hart too – there’s a whole junk-shop-worth of knick-knacks, novelties and gimcracks on shelves, tables and plinths.
There are many dark corners for canoodling couples to share a bottle of wine, but Clapton really does have a big Hart now – it’s fairly massive, with another upstairs room due to open and a garden currently being populated with plants.
Judging by our early-days visit, those locals have already taken the Hart to heart – it was busy on a Wednesday night with a varied crowd of starving artists, first-time buyers, dedicated Claptonites, women with dogs and the young hipsters who have realised Dalston’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
