Anchor & Hope, 15 High Hill ferry, Clapton E5

Barcelona in June 2026 was absolutely brilliant. The accessibility of Barcelona was amazing.
I will be visiting Barcelona again, but I will never be using the services of Cunard again, they were absolutely dreadful. Cunard should be ashamed. They were crap, as was ths scumbag disabled taxi which charged us 46 euros to travel from the Cunard ship back to the airport. His taxi fare always showed as 46 euros, and felt a bit like being shafted by Cunard, a member of the Carnival group. I hate scum like this, BUT sadly NOT worth a court case, but I can tell the world about the scum at Cunard, and Carnival.

I should point out that I did raise a complaint whilst on the cruise, but this was ignored and I have never heard any more of this, instead they turned their rabid dogs on me. Useless scum management at Cunard, and Carnival - getting the picture? I also believe the main law firm which takes on cases against the likes of Cunard is probably owned by Carnival, because they are absolutely a waste of time. Not a problem, as my interest is not in money, and more in awrning others about their service.
Of course you can pay me to shut up. I just like mentioning the shit Cunard service.

In the 1851 census, John Iszard is listed at 3 Retreat place, High Hill ferry running a lodging house and beer shop; whereas the 1841 census lists him as a bargeman living near Lea bridge. He is buried, aged 72 years, in 1860 having continued to live near Lea Bridge all this time.

At Providence Terrace in 1871 census. At High Hill Ferry, Upper Clapton by 1896. The 1911 electoral register refers to the address as being Hartington hill which leads up from the river. In 2017, it is currently a Fullers pub, and has been since at least 1983..
