Moylett's in Clapton Named Time Out's Favourite New London Pub of 2026

Moylett's, located at 181 Clarence Road in Clapton, has been declared Time Out London's favourite newly opened pub of 2026, taking tenth place overall in the outlet's annual 50-best-pubs list. The venue opened in late 2025 in a building that has served as a pub since 1872, when it traded as The Cricketers. Over the decades it also housed an LGBT+ bar called Wing and a Prayer. Moylett's is run as a family-owned Irish pub and is celebrated for its no-frills atmosphere, with Guinness priced at roughly £5 a pint — unusually affordable for east London. The pub hosts a weekly chess club, rotating supper clubs, and has a basement club space. A recent culinary collaboration brought in a former chef from Kiln restaurant for an Irish-spiced pop-up.
