Food scene
Victoria Park is absolutely beautiful, and right on your doorstep. As you walk into the park you will see The Pavillon Café, which serves brunch, lunch and you can get take away coffees & pastries. It is a really chilled vibe and an awesome place to meet for brunch on the weekends. We are big fans!

This intimate East-End boozer is a great spot. It is believed that the pub was once property of the Kray's - a family of infamous gangsters that were prevalent in the 1960's. Just a stone's throw from Brick Lane, it's a good rest stop on market day (every Sunday).
