Directions: The recommended route is to take the M11 from M25 (junction 27) following the southbound carriageway (sign London NE). After about 6 miles, take the right fork onto the north circular (A406 West). At the bottom of the flyover where the roads merge, move into the left-hand lane and turn left at the roundabout on to the A104. After about 1 mile at the next roundabout take the right exit - still the A104 (a landmark here is the quaintly-decorated Lamb's Cafe). Half a mile further on, turn left into Leyton Green Road (signposted to Leyton and Stratford), and left again into a short slip-road past the bus garage entrance and left into Leyton High Road - you'll see the Leyton Leisure Lagoon opposite as you wait to make the turn. Continue until you see the floodlights and then find a side turning to park in the back-streets. Postcode E10 5NE. Street Parking. The trip involves a journey of between 160 and 170 miles depending on route and you should allow 4 hours.
Leyton Orient have advised that parking is available, including coaches, at the new Spitalfields Market just off Ruckholt Road http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GBE105SQ#map=51.55556,-0.01738164&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:51.55556:-0.01751:16E105SQE10%205SQ Postcode for Spitalfields parking is E10 5SQ

Alehouse guide from last season (not up-dated): The Birkbeck Tavern is in Langthorne Road behind the Tube Station and serves a decent choice of real ales along with the usual fizzy alternatives. The Coach and Horses in Leyton High Road is often used by visiting fans and has a couple of Sky big screens, not posh from the outside but a "proper" boozer. Turning off The High Road, you will find The Northcote at the end of Warren Road. Once again, this is a more than decent smaller pub with big screens and good beer. For Wetherspoons fans (you know who you are), The Drum on Lea Bridge Road is the nearest with The Walnut Tree in Leytonstone about a mile and a half away. Finally, it's not often I’m able to say that a Supporters Club is well worth a visit, but this is an exception. The Leyton Club is located in The West Stand and boasts as many as SIX real ales. Prices are generally cheaper than the surrounding Pubs.
Enjoy
