The Bell is a landmark pub in the heart of Walthamstow, proudly occupying the road junction that bears its name. Known for its striking architecture, warm atmosphere, and community spirit, it’s a much-loved local favourite with real versatility.
Inside, the pub is well-zoned with a main bar, sports area, and a private side room ideal for events and group dining. The décor blends character with comfort, featuring a statement fireplace, booth seating with private TVs, and space for both casual drinks and relaxed meals.
A standout feature is the large rear garden, seating around 100 covers, perfect for summer trade, family gatherings, and outdoor events.
The Bell has a full weekly rhythm, including mum-and-baby meetups, quiz nights, live music, and sports screenings, ensuring steady trade across all dayparts. The current 75/25 wet-to-dry split presents great potential to grow food sales, especially through the garden and event spaces.
In a vibrant area full of independent venues, The Bell stands out for its size, charm, and local loyalty — a proven pub with scope to develop even further under the right operator.
A major benefit of The Bell is the presence of six en-suite letting rooms (with a shared kitchen) alongside two self-contained flats, all located on-site. This opens up valuable opportunities for additional revenue streams through short-term lets (Airbnb style) or staff accommodation. It also provides a potential live-in option for operators, making the business more accessible to hands-on owner-operators or live-in managers. For the right operator, this setup enhances operational flexibility, supports staffing, and adds a meaningful income layer beyond core pub trade.
