The Royston is a giant, suburban pub which suffered one of those identikit, taste-free refurbishments which makes it look like the set of a daytime talk show. Everything is clean and tidy, indicating the refurb was recently done, but it's hard to tell as it already looks quite dated. A standard slew of cooking lagers is complimented by cheap, cheap food and there's an outside area at the front, as well as an rather nice grassed back garden. Comedy nights are now making an appearance and the quiz night is pretty good, while the overall atmosphere is less, shall we say, 'exuberant' than other pubs towards Chingford Mount. All said, it's probably really one for the locals.
