The Tom Hoskins  

This used to be the only pub in Leicester that belonged to the Hoskins brewery. However, with takeovers, this is no longer true. It's also no longer true that you can get Hoskins beers here.

Taken over in 2009 they have a guest ale policy which is really refreshing, especially as it is round the corner from the National Space Centre and the Abbey Road Pumping Station and a 10 minute walk from the canal.

The pub still backs onto the old brewery building, though it lies empty at present.

There is a patio beer garden for summer with an ivy covered wall. Inside there is a TV - usually on for sport mainly - and a single drinking area around an 'L' shaped bar.

Very much a locals pub, don't let that put you off though as the beer is good and not badly priced either.

Access for the disabled is possible through the beer garden and to the bar.
