The Roundhouse was situated on Lodge Avenue. This pub closed in August 2015. The pub was built in 1936 by the old London County Council as one of the many on its huge Becontree Estate. It was the work of specialist pub architect, Alfred W Blomfield. Originally coyly called ‘refreshment houses’, this one had a tea room and an indoor bowling green. Sadly few of these pubs, once common around the edges of London, survive. From 1969 to 1975 a hall attached to the pub was used as a music venue that hosted the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Queen.
This pub has now reopened.
