A down-to-earth area in the East End, Bethnal Green is known as a home to young professionals and a large Bangladeshi community. Long-standing cafes and old-school pubs line Bethnal Green Road, while hip bars and eateries fill Paradise Row’s railway arches. Families enjoy exploring the V&A Museum of Childhood’s toy exhibits. Columbia Road has indie shops and, on Sundays, a popular, colourful flower market.
