Today is National Alfred Hitchcock Day. Well, according to Fangoria magazine it is.

Waltham Foresters, however, could call everyday Hitchcock day. Campaigners have been working to turn the old EMD Cinema on Hoe Street into the director’s shrine for years now.

Visitors can drink at the Alfred Hitchcock pub or stay the night, or forever, at the attached Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel

But knowledgeable Leytoners know that Hitchcock preferred the Drum on Lea Bridge Road and The Rose & Crown on Hoe Street.
