A local family run institution where you always feel welcome! This greasy spoon café is a proper traditional place with a buzzing atmosphere.

This place is great for brunches and lunches. They have a cabaret place downstairs so you really could stay all day if you wanted to!

A club based off Hackney Road where international DJs and live acts play regularly. It also has terrace parties in the summer.

Delicious afternoon tea in the company of adorable cats that live in the café.

After trying nearly all of the Vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland Road, this is by far the best. The setting is cool with graffiti style art on the walls and the service is excellent compared to other places on the same road. Complimentary tea and watermelon at the end is exactly what is needed after trying the extensive menu of pho, noodles, summer rolls and fresh fish.

A local drinking institution that retains its traditional decor - a proper East End boozer with plenty of character in Millennium Park.

The only place in London to do a bacon doughnut... They also have amazing chicken and lunchtime deals in the week!

An incredible restaurant in east London. Bright yellow and tiny in size, it serves the best fried chicken with American-style sides, including the dill and pomegranate slaw, which is unreal! Booking is recommended...

Broadway Market is the exact place to go to experience the best of what east London has to offer, with its fantastic range of food stalls, restaurants, shops and pubs! If you go in the summer, be sure to grab a beer and head over to London Fields, where the standard BBQ doesn't exist.

A great place to grab a coffee, freshly prepared snacks or cake, while overlooking one of Victoria Park's lakes.

A lovely little Caribbean restaurant on Mare Street in East London. They offer the best jerk chicken along with other Caribbean dishes.

Open every Sunday, you can enjoy a Sunday walk in the park and have a bite to eat and a pint in the middle of it! Great day out with family or friends on a nice and sunny day.

Diddy's, a café by day and bustling bar by night is a cultural hub situated on the corner of Mare Street and beck road. Just a stone throw away from London fields, this bright and light space offers everything from coffee to their signature cocktails at reasonable prices creating an environment where patrons feel valued and where you "can have a night out without feeling like you have spent all your rent money" owned by Diddy herself.

"In 1980 journalist Duncan Campbell entered (illegally) down an access shaft in Bethnal Green and attempted to cycle to Westminster. He was amazed at how well maintained and extensive the tunnels were under the city and had no need of a map as they were very well signposted."

I love Bethnal Green Gardens because there is a park inside for children and there is a spiderweb next to the park for older children Furthermore, there is a huge football pitch and a basketball area. Even though there is a football pitch and a basketball area, it is spacious. Also there is a grass hill that has dandelions all over. To add to this there is a library next to Bethnal Green Gardens. In addition, the whole area is clean, plus the community that work there are very kind, generous and helpful.

I love Bethnal Green. It is situated perfectly on the central line and is great for getting around easily. Brick Lane Market on a Sunday is only a 10 minute walk away, along with the great night life in Shoreditch. It is the perfect place to really enjoy London for what it is – a busy, exciting, cosmopolitan city.

I have lived in East London and have had the amazing opportunity of being born and bred in the heart of it! Bethnal Green has a lovely community and wonderful niche markets, local parks, cheap and cheerful as well as classy restaurants! If you're a fan of food look no further! Brick Lane, (which is round the corner!) has a large flea market with stalls selling antiques, clothes, bric-a-brac and all sorts of other weird and wonderful things and is famous for selling THE best Indian around! Columbia Flower Market is also round the corner! You can surprise your loved ones with beautiful giant bouquets! Bethnal green has the underground,and National Railway and a range of buses which can take you to different locations!! A lovely, warm, and sociable area! :)

Behind every corner is an undiscovered hangout. A giant adventure playground in the heart of the city

Bethnal Green is an awesome, urban area with an eclectic mix of people, ranging from students, arty hipsters, professionals working in the city to old school Cockney and Bangladeshi residents selling local wares (such as jellied eels, pie & mash and beautiful saris). Bethnal Green Road itself has everything you need from supermarkets, fresh fruit and veg stalls, excellent breakfast places (E Pelliccis and Cafe 338), numerous banks, opticians, take-away places, a decent swimming pool & gym classes in the old Roman baths and several great pubs (not to mention my favourites - The Old George and The Star of Bethnal Green). It’s also perfectly located for some of the best things to do in East London: browsing the vintage clothes shops and sampling the food markets/ curry houses of Brick Lane, bumbling around Spitafields’ stalls, hitting the bars and clubs in Shoreditch, buying gorgeous plants and fresh flowers on a Sunday from Colombia Road Flower Market, wandering along the canal at Broadway, chilling out on London Fields and strolling around beautiful Victoria Park. Stratford Westfield is only two stops further east on the central line for all your shopping needs and there are two nearby cinemas at Hackney Empire and Richmix in Shoreditch (both a 20 min walk away). Commuting to the West End onwards is easy as you’re only in Zone 2 on the central line and the railway line at Bethnal Green is on the Overground with better access to Stoke Newington, Walthamstow Village and South East London. If you work in the City you can walk to work in just 30 minutes. We couldn't have been happier living here for the past 7 years and will be sad to leave!
