Your central, eclectic, and artsy pocket of delights
Overview
You’re the progressive type...

Then what are you waiting for?
Bethnal Green is right here – jump in!
What can I do here?
Enjoy a good drink in a cool pub or bar...
For clubbing you’d best head to neighbouring Brick Lane. But for pubs, you won’t find much better than Bethnal Green.
For an incredible variety of craft beers go to the Star of Bethnal Green. They also have great barbecues in the summer.
The Old George has a great selection of beers and a huge (sunny) beer garden. If wine is more your cup of tea, we recommend Sager+Wilde for their organic wine list and stylish decor.
Stand up and perform (or be blown away by your cool new neighbours)...
Over the past few years, Bethnal Green has become popular with the artsy community. You’re never får from a trendy gallery ... or a friendly pub with an open-mic night.
Head to The Backyard Bar and The Comedy Club when you need a chuckle, and then go to Rich Mix, where local creativity is celebrated.
Share a great meal with family and friends...
Rawduck offers an excellent menu with new dishes every week (and for every meal of the day).
The flavours are Mediterranean or Middle Eastern, many of which are fermented delicacies made inhouse. Their menus are perfect for sharing and yes ...
... they do a mean Sunday roast.
Remind yourself of yesterday...
The world moves fast today. Nowhere is it quicker than the booming East-End of London.
But at the Museum of Childhood you can slow down and remember the toys you played with as a child. The exhibition features toys, teddy bears, clothes, furniture, and much, much (much) more.
Crime Fact...
Bethnal Green and nearby Whitechapel were the hunting grounds of Jack the Ripper and, in the 60s, these same streets were run by the infamous gangsters the Kray Twins.
