Great destination for a walk, looking out over the boating lake and just a hundred metres away from a massive playground (amazing if you have small kids).

Famous East End caff, run by the Pellicci family for over 100 years. Nevio runs the show and he's amazing – makes you feel part of the gang the first time he meets you! Coffee or filling lunches.

Nice veggie cafe, also has a "healthy food" grocery section at the front, although the best thing they sell are the croissants... not so healthy after all.

Nearest pizza restaurant, which is it's main selling point! The pizza is good, but not amazing, but there are times when you just need a pizza...

Entertainment & Activities
Amazing museum for kids up to 10. There are baby sensory bits for the small ones, lots of toys to play with and generally loads of cool exhibits of childhood through the ages to explore.

Sheep, pigs, chickens... and lots more animals to look at – kids love this place. There's a cafe / restau there too, although there are better options nearby.

Everything Else
Every Sunday morning the street shuts and is filled with flower sellers. You can go just to look and take photos, but you'll probably be shouted at... buy some beautiful flowers at bargain prices!

A busy food market on Saturdays. You can just walk around and watch the crowds, but you also have lots of good options for snacky lunch. After, it's good to have a stroll around London Fields.

Best bread for miles around. You can sit in and have sourdough toast or pastries with good coffee too, which you've earned after a 20 minute walk.

Drinks & Nightlife
Very close to Bethnal Green tube, but it's somehow retained it's "village pub" atmosphere (most pubs in the area have gone more upmarket / trendy). Good beers and pies.

Essentials
This is the local supermarket and it's just around the corner. We now do most of our food shopping online, but this is the reliable big shop, with long opening hours.
