A cool place but not cliquey. It is a sort of postmodern reinvention of the London boozer with the old style looks but decidedly modern take on the drinks and food and keeping things friendly and open. I like it a lot as it takes the best of the city pub, adds interesting twists and subtracts the general atmosphere of menace, hard stares and general dodginess which I\ve never liked. Newly traditional.

I recently booked the Orient Lounge at Leyton Technical for my 50th birthday party. At all stages of planning the event, the staff were very helpful. The food provided on the night was excellent and the arrangements for the bar tab and music all worked out just as planned. I highly recommend Leyton Technical if you are looking for a party venue.
