It was previously known as the Obelisk (pictured), but according to the Aug/Sep 2017 <i>London Drinker</i> it reopened under the name of the Mount after an extended period of closure. We hadn't visited since it reopened, but our assessment of a previous incarnation can be seen on <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Mount%2C_E4_8DD&version=5">an older version of this page</a>. |

<div class="old_info"> Pub in [[Locale Chingford|Chingford]]. It was previously part of the Bramwell Pub Company (formerly Barracuda), but following Bramwell's descent into administration, according to the April/May 2015 edition of <i>London Drinker</i> it's now owned by Parity Bars. We haven't visited since the change of ownership, so some of the information below may be out of date. The decor is quite varied, with striped, diamond-patterned, and flocked wallpaper in different areas of the pub; some booth-like seating, some high tables, some normal tables, and a three-quarter-round banquette thing with velvet cushions. Chairs are tapestry-backed, and a swag curtain hangs between two of the booths. A sturdy staircase with carved balusters leads upwards in the middle of the pub. [[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday afternoon in September 2011. There were a handful of other people in, sprinkled around the pub, including one party with small children. The flatscreens were showing Sky Sports football with the sound on very quietly, and music was playing somewhere towards the back of the pub, again quite quietly. Although they have six handpumps, only two of them were on, offering Bombardier (£1.15/half) and Bass, a rather disappointing selection for a new Good Beer Guide entry. Food is served from a chain-wide (Smith & Jones) menu, apparently all day. Accessibility: No step to get in, and the ground floor is all on the same level. There's a RADAR-locked accessible toilet towards the back. Other toilets are on the first floor, up a flight of stairs with a u-turn in the middle and a sturdy handrail all the way up. One of the cubicles in the ladies' has a door that opens outwards. |
