The Bow Bells, Bow

When my wife and I were looking at buying a flat in the area we thought we�d try out the local pub for quick drink. We were soon got into conversation with the very friendly locals and Colin the landlord and the bar staff and left at 11pm. We ended up moving into the area and now this is our local pub and we are regulars. We know almost everyone in the pub now, but the place is still very welcoming to the new punters as it was to us.

The is a sign on the outside of the pub saying that you�ll get a traditional East End welcome and you really do. They�ve also fixed the light problem so the place has a nice warm feel. We got the Elvis (Tony Andreas) to come to our wedding down in Kent to do a surprise hour stint. It went down very well with young and old alike.

Anyway great pub to have as a local and heartily recommend it if you�re passing or live nearby.
