Big Penny Social

An enormous beer-hall-scale venue in a Walthamstow warehouse shell — big communal tables, screens, rotating taps with a good run of London breweries, and food vendors worth checking on the way in. It is built for groups and for occasions: event nights and sport screenings are when it comes alive, and weekend afternoons suit a crowd. The flip side of all that space is that it can feel empty on a quiet night, so time your visit to the programming. Come with people, claim a big table, and let the scale work in your favour.
