The Glories of Forest Gate

Wooden carvings on the old Eagle and Child Pub – now Woodgrange Pharmacy

I’d passed the Eagle and Child on my way to the brilliant Coffee7 on Sebert Road, any coffee shop with a bookshelf like this has got to be good.

Aside from serving great coffee they operate a ‘Suspended Coffee’ scheme where you can pay for a coffee for somebody else who can’t afford one. They can just walk in a claim a free coffee. What a fantastic scheme – I’ve never been so happy to pay for a coffee that I didn’t drink.

Coffee7 was featured in this BBC News item about ‘Suspended Coffee’.
