Mile End & Bow

At the crossroads of the City, Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park you'll find Mile End and Bow — the bustling residential heartland of the East End. Once gritty and rough around the edges — OK, still gritty and rough around the edges — the area has picked up in recent years with new places to eat, drink and shop joining the existing arts venues, charming parks and squares. While the likes of Nandos, Tesco and Starbucks have all started to muscle-in on the area, there's plenty of other places to head to if you're after genuine local experiences.

Since 1937, pie and mash has been served at G.Kelly's on Roman Road, all hand-made in their in-house bakery using a recipe passed down through three generations of East Londoners. The ladies serving the pies are the stars of the show - true East London locals who welcome you into the bosom of G.Kelly's with enthusiasm and charm - giving you all the recommendations and advice a naive first-timer needs. Try the liquor sauce — it’s a misleadingly-named savoury parsley sauce — with pie and mash or go all-out East End with jellied eels seasoned with chilli vinegar and white pepper. If you're brave enough.
