I love this post. It's like if you book the Sleeper from London Euston to Edinburgh - you have no idea whether the bloke you're sharing with it going to be a bit rapey. Been lucky so far, but luck doesn't last forever!

Any feedback guys on whether this is a good idea or not?

Depends on what type of night you want....but no way I'd go canning town for a beer and I was brought up in custom house/canning town PR lane! lol! Nothing going on there really mate....errm I always pop slightly out of the area..depends on what you wanna do...quiet beer or club/bar lively music??

Looks rapey as ****, and awfully similar to a prison cell.

Ah, but prison cells don't vibrate as they rattle along. I also doubt a grumpy woman brings you a stale croissant for breakfast in prison.

the carriages are, however, a rapist's paradise. Book at your own peril!

Cheers m8, anywhere with a bit of pre match atmosphere will do me

Hmmm ok..The central pub will be rammed and is good crack. A walk from the stadium and just on the barking road.

Cheers m8, I notice nobody recommends the Boleyn pub

OK so how about if we start at Stratford high st (lunch timish) & gradually make our way down to the Central via Plaistow?
