"Good hotel, relatively quiet & with reliable wifi. Chocolate muffins for breakfast. Cons: The guy in charge should treat the staff with more respect & they may repaint your room while you're out."

"Absolutely wonderful grafitti along this road. Curry houses offer decent food but are an utter tourist trap in any other way."

"Beautiful covered market. Good for vintage stuff or young designers. The Diner offers an impressive selection of craft beer (for a burger bar)."

"Haven for independent shops & stalls. Good food too. The whole area around Brick Lane is wel worth a visit."

"Quieter part of London with friendly locals, decent hotels, good bars & restaurants. If you are easily frightened, The Bush can appear a bit menacing at night. Never had any problems though."

"Amazing place to shop, eat, drink or simply observe life. Thankfully the place survived gentrification & retains its quaint character. Been coming here for over 15 years, still love the place to bits!"
