Around The Ground:
Local things of interest: You'll have to search a long time to find the beauty spots of West Ham. To the east, the huge Ford plant in Dagenham, to the south, the great docks and shipyards that gave the club its original name (Thames Ironworks FC - hence 'The Hammers')
Pubs: Stick to the centre of town, a few stops away on the tube where the heavy preponderance of chirpy cockneys becomes slightly diluted, and the bar staff are more likely to be Australian.
Local Eateries: West Ham's reputation as a footballing academy dates from the late fifties, when such luminaries as Malcolm Allison, Dave Sexton, Ken Brown, John Bond and Frank O'Farrell used to gather at Cassetari's Café after training and plan out possible tactics using salt cellars and vinegar bottles. This historical eating house is still in business, serving all-day breakfasts at 25 Barking Road There are plenty of fast-food takeaways near to the ground. Avoid the 'Pie and Mash with Liquor'. Most locals steer well clear of it except to prove their cockney worth, ie, Danny Baker types.
