Absolutely Top Hole East End Walk Around Bethnal Green - London
Taking a walk around London's Bethnal Green is somewhat different from how it once was, but there are still some pockets of the area which remain true to its past and there are some wonderful cafes and museums to visit with a rich history.
I would definitely start with breakfast at E. Pellicci Cafe. It's an absolute treat with Grade 2 listed status and 1940s interior. The staff are friendly and funny too.
There is also authentic Pie and Mash at Kelly's and the Victorian and Albert Museum of childhood.
Bethnal Green was famous for the blind beggar who was actually Henry de Montfort, sone of the Earl of Leicester and many balads have been written about him. In this film Lil Lost Lou sings her own version of The Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green.
Bethnal Green was also the stamping ground of the notorious Kray Twins and we go past some of their haunts, where they went to school and boxed and of course where The Krays drank!
In addition there is the usual history of the buildings and some of London's first social housing experiments.

Green Park | London | England | Things To Do In London | London Park | London Travel Guide
Green Park | London | England | Things To Do In London | London Park | London Travel Guide
Check out our travel blogs and travel website for more content on the best places to visit around the world.
Find serenity amidst the hustle and bustle of London at the breathtaking Green Park, a peaceful retreat offering a perfect blend of history, nature, and urban beauty. This tranquil royal park, sandwiched between bustling Piccadilly and the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, offers a welcome respite from the city's energetic pace. It's a place where London's residents and visitors come to relax, reflect, and relish the greenery.
Covering 47 acres of land, Green Park may be the smallest of London's eight royal parks, but it's a vibrant jewel in the city's crown. It's devoid of the lakes and playgrounds you'll find in other London parks. Instead, its charm lies in its simplicity: wide open spaces, mature trees, and meandering paths – a quintessential English landscape that's idyllic in its simplicity.
As soon as you step into the park, you'll be captivated by the lush canopy of towering trees, including elegant London Planes, sturdy English Oaks, and exotic Horse Chestnuts. The park boasts over 250 species of wildflowers and is a haven for wildlife, providing a habitat for various bird species, including robins, blackbirds, and the quintessential London pigeon.
Green Park isn't just a natural retreat; it's steeped in history, too. Once a burial ground for lepers from the nearby St James's Hospital, it became a royal park in the 17th century. It's a great place for history buffs who'll enjoy strolling down avenues that have been traversed by kings and queens. Don't miss out on the park's most striking landmark, the Canada Memorial, which honours Canadian forces killed during both world wars.
The park's location makes it a fantastic starting point for exploring London's iconic landmarks. It borders Buckingham Palace to the west, offering a fantastic view of the Changing the Guard ceremony. To the north, you'll find Piccadilly, home to the Royal Academy of Arts and high-end shops like Fortnum & Mason.
The charm of Green Park lies in its blend of peace and accessibility. It's a world away from the city's noise, yet smack in the heart of London. Whether you're looking for a scenic spot for a picnic, a peaceful place for a stroll, or a quiet corner to read a book, Green Park offers an oasis of tranquillity amidst the city's hustle and bustle.
So, when you're in London, make sure to set aside some time for Green Park. Discover its history, enjoy its natural beauty, or simply sit back, relax, and watch the world go by.
