Columbia Road Flower Market 151 reviews Shoreditch  Columbia Road, London  Florists “A favourite amongst Londoners, and with good reason! It's basically flower paradise down there, and a cheap one as well. Most flowers go for £5 a bunch or £10 for three and there are also plenty of antics/food/cookery stores along the way.”  Sandra G., London

Mother Kelly’s 15 reviews Bethnal Green  251 Paradise Row, London  Lounges, Pubs “If you love beer, you're going to love Mother Kelly's. They have a huge selection on tap and along one of the walls — yes you heard right... not the wall of the bar, one wall of the venue, they have fridges lined with beer from all over the globe.”  Ray C., London

Town Hall Hotel 18 reviews Bethnal Green  8 Patriot Square, London  Hotels “Where to start... I love it here! So much I got hitched to my lovely man here two weeks ago... It's a hidden gem on Cambridge Heath Road. The Viajante cocktail bar is now one of my favourite places to go for a drink and the Corner Room is fab.”  Jinny N., London

Bistrotheque 83 reviews Bethnal Green  23-27 Wadeson Street, London  French Restaurants “If you stir the right things together, they'll put me under a spell... Easily the best eggs benedict I've had, possibly ever... I absolutely love it.”  Thomas A., London

V&A  Museum of Childhood 43 reviews Bethnal Green  Cambridge Heath Road, London  Museums “Museum shows with actual toys, the history of childhood, a relatively recent invention of modern times. Through their displays they showcase what children played with from decades ago up to more recent times. A great collection to relive your childhood.”  Steve P., London

Typing Room 11 reviews Bethnal Green  8 Patriot Square, London  Modern European Restaurants “You have to go to Typing Room. Right now... At Typing Room, the bread was a course in and of itself. I'm not kidding. Two types of bread with two types of delish buttery, chutney, goodness... I can't rave about this place enough.”  Katy G., London

E Pellicci 65 reviews Bethnal Green  332 Bethnal Green Road, London  Italian Restaurants, Cafes, Breakfast & Brunch “Historic fry up place in the east end that I frequent... A great fry up. Obviously get the full English. Some right characters inside but good honest grub that really has that old London feel.”  Daniel F., London

Bethnal Green Workingmen’s Club 28 reviews Totteridge  42-46 Pollard Row, London  Clubs “Off the beaten path. And awesome. OK, not going to lie, had a great time. Not too crowded, drinks not terribly expensive, somewhat obscure location, but a really fun time. If you like themed nights where people dress up, this may be the place for you.”  Katie B., London

The Camel 31 reviews Bethnal Green  277 Globe Rd, London  Pubs, British Restaurants “This local pub is a great gem in my neighbourhood. The pies and mash are tasty and filling and the staff are pleasant. It's never too crowded and the outdoor tables are perfect on a sunny evening. There is a very local vibe about it.”  Laura S., London

Brawn 42 reviews Shoreditch  49 Columbia Road, London  Modern European Restaurants “This is a new fave in London... this place knows how to deliver simple and delicious food and an unassuming atmosphere... The wooden tables gave it a relaxed feel and we just enjoyed the experience. Feels like the best of local eating.”  Caren H., London
