The Palm Tree, Mile End

Blimey - and I thought the good old eastend boozer had died with the encroachment of the poncy gastro pubs! Went there last night to find myself caught up in the midst of a Christmas knees up - carols and good cheer aplenty! I have only lived in the vicinity for a couple of months but in that time have managed to visit the majority of pubs in the area and this is by far the best, mainly because it has so much character, something often lacking these days. Would recommend it to anyone - especially on a Saturday night when the aging crooners take a turn on the mike!
