The Royal Forest

The Royal Forest is a prominent JD Wetherspoon pub on Rangers Road at Chingford Plain, one of the most dramatically situated pubs in East London -- a large Victorian building at the edge of Epping Forest adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge, one of Henry VIII's hunting grounds. Named for its historic setting in what was the Royal Forest of Epping, the pub is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists and families visiting Epping Forest from Chingford station, which is just a short walk away.

The menu covers the full Wetherspoon range of British pub food: breakfasts from early morning, burgers, curries, fish and chips, steaks and a broad selection of ales and lagers at the competitive prices Wetherspoon is known for. A good-value pit stop before or after a walk in Epping Forest. Open daily from early morning until late.
