The Eleanor Arms, Bow

Great Pub, but it's not in Bethnal Green. IT'S IN BOW!

In less than two years it has been turned round from a tip you would not want to be seen dead in to a fine GBG pub, with staff that welcome regulars and new-comers alike, and women feel as comfortable as men.

You'll find the best conditioned Sherherd Neam's anywhere, with regular offerings from its microbrewery. Visitors travel from afar because of the reputation of its beer. But there's also a good wine list and a selection of fine malt whiskys.

Downside: if you live locally it's a bit tempting to call in too often.
