Usually judged before it’s been visited, Bethnal Green is primarily associated with being rough, run down and the rather notorious Kray twins. Which is a pretty unfair assessment. As nearby Shoreditch steals the headlines, Bethnal Green has managed to feel the effects of gentrification, but nothing too drastic. Rather it maintains a strong East End feel mixed with Bangladeshi influences and a hint of trendy inspiration. Local attractions include the immense Victoria Park and the Museum of Childhood filled with toys dating back centuries. Columbia Road Market adds a burst of colour, stocked with exotic flowers and is the perfect place for Sunday breakfast. For more formal dining, Wild Cherry is recommended for its vegetarian meals. And if you want true tradition head to Kelly’s for pie, mash and jellied eels. Entertainment wise one can dance the night away at the Working Men’s Club or admire stunning décor and revel in the chilled out atmosphere of Loungelover.
