Bakers Arms is an intersection and arguably a district on the boundary of Leyton and Walthamstow, in the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

The closest railway station is Leyton Midland Road on the Gospel Oak to Barking line.

[3] The Bakers Arms pub was itself named after the almshouses approximately 100 yards further south in Lea Bridge Road.

The 52 almshouses were built on three sides of a square, with turrets at the angles, in the Italianate style by the architect Thomas Edward Knightley.

[6] In the late 1960s, the almshouses were compulsorily purchased by the Greater London Council for a road widening scheme.
