During the 18th century there was a tradition, that on the first Friday in July, a large number of East Enders would travel to Fairlop to eat a meal of bacon and beans beneath as well as partake in general celebrations beneath an ancient oak tree. By the 1750s it was estimated that over 100,000 people could be expected to attend. The original oak blew down in 1820 and the celebration declined, perhaps as a result of licensing laws. The New Fairlop Oak was planted in 1951 and sits in the middle of Fullwell Cross roundabout. The building behind is the Fullwell Cross library.
Nearest station: Fairlop.

Top Hainault Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing reception and services, got upgraded due to celebratory event. Very clean and modern room "

Sea Containers London

10/10 Excellent

"The food and service were excellent throughout my stay. Very friendly staff who made you feel valued and were very attentive, from the breakfast staff to the people delivering my room service and the housekeeping staff. The food was all very tasty too! And it was nice to be given a box of chocolates when I stayed over Christmas. The hotel design and decor was beautiful. The hotel location was great as you’re near the South Bank, St Paul’s and Houses of Parliament. I would definitely stay here again. "

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel and the staff was excellent. The Breakfast was great with many options and the hours to have a relaxed breakfast was more than fair. Robert who works at the Breakfast restaurant was a great help and great advice for the daily activities. He deserves a raise for sure. The only issue I had was the room type. Your webpage clearly advertised a park view room for my selection. Since this happened before to me through Expedia, the room sold is almost never the room advertised on your site. So it was still a good room but the view was parking lot and some park. So I would definitely stay here again. "

The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Our entire experience was amazing here! The hotel was beautiful, the staff was kind and attentive. It was a great location!! Walking distance to 2 different tube lines and many local attractions. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again on our next trip to London. "
