Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
It’s all about the burger at this winning Mile End institution. Not satisfied with the humble pig or cow, Greedy Cow bring you kangaroo, Wagyu and other interesting patties. There’s a real wood and cowboy theme going on, but done to just this side of kitsch. Pop down early on the weekend for the new ‘greedy breakfast’ – a proper hangover buster.

Pop into Verdi’s for high end Italian at this modern neighbourhood restaurant that’s become a bit of a local gem. Fresh Italian pastas are the knockout here with the pizzas not far behind. The menu changes regularly, but keeps everything affordable. Great for a mid-week low key meal.

Palmers is a bit of an institution. This family-run restaurant focuses on British cuisine with most of the ingredients from Billingsgate and Spitalfields markets to keep things proper East End. There’s no jellied eels in sight though, more asparagus and Stilton quiche or decent juicy steaks, all served in a really welcoming atmosphere.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of Bow’s most famed pubs, the Morgan Arms goes above and beyond when it comes to booze. There’s organic and natural wines, five local draughts on tap and a range of American and British bottled beers. Food-wise, it’s a mix of East End classics given a modern twist (Baked Devon crab with scrumpy fired oysters and fennel mayonnaise) and proper bar snacks like homemade Scotch eggs.

A Young’s pub, this East End diamond sits halfway between Mile End and Bow and has seen it all change over the last 100 years. The décor’s improved for sure, though; this feels more like a country local than a gritty urban pub. Nowadays, you can pop in for a superior bar snack menu (lobster Mac and cheese, hell yes), Ploughmans, and top notch burgers.

A new addition to the area, The Victoria is a hipper take on the traditional East End boozer, throwing decks where anyone can play records and a coffee bar into the mix. There’s also a lovely courtyard outback (complete with fountain), a caravan turned into a kids’ playhouse and the staff are on the ball and friendly to boot. A fab place for a weekend afternoon session.
