Muxima

Coffee Shop / Cafe Local London Mile End & Victoria Park Village Place Reviews

Local Laid Back Cafe

Muxima is a really nice and welcoming cafe/ restaurant on Roman road. Their food is exceptional, their staff is caring and will make you want to stay for an other quality coffee. Artisan coffee, homemade cakes and bread…breakfast, lunch, dinner, wines, craft beers, cocktails, art exhibitions, pop up dinners, gigs, DJ’s, documentary nights, that’s what they do in Muxima (and I probably have missed some other things) That’s chilled, sociable, and has been rewarded several times by Time Out. This is a homely oasis in East London.

 

East London Liquor Company

Bars / Pubs Local London Mile End & Victoria Park Village

Gin & Whiskey Distillery

 

The East London Liquor Company is a beautiful venue with a great pedigree. Located in the historical Bow Warf, they transformed an old glue factory into a gin distillery where you can drink glam delicious cocktails (with home made gin, of course!) and nice food. Don’t be alarmed by the fact that it’s buried in a small industrial park beside the canal, the place is a gem! It is best to seek advice from the bartenders who are truly passioned and will be delighted to guide you. You can for sure grab a beer but going there and not try their Negroni or Autumn Wood would be a shame.

The Crown

Victoria Park Overview

The Crown is a two-floored pub with beer garden, outdoor terraces and quirky, vintage-inspired styling. You will love the over-view on the park in both winter and summer. Their staff is friendly and will make you feel welcomed.

10 minutes away from Mile End station, the pub faces the entrance of Victoria Park and it’s a good way to take a break from the city. Go there for the view and the atmosphere, grab some ales and/or a glass of wine, a cup of fries and here you go!

 

The Fish House

Local London Mile End & Victoria Park Village Place Reviews Restaurants / Gastropub / Takeout

Fish & Chip Break

 

In the heart of Victoria Park Village The Fish House is an affordable place to eat a casual fish and chip. Most locals opt for carry-outs, but if you choose the restaurant you’ll get a more creative menu, where mains of grilled swordfish with a fragrant salsa, or pan-fried hake fillet with chorizo and butter beans, could precede a classic English pud (banana split, bread and butter pudding). You can’t go wrong with fish from the white-tiled takeaway section; choose from cod, scampi, haddock, rock, plaice or skate, generously battered and deep-fried.

 

 

 

Ariana

Persian and Afghan Traditional Dishes

Ariana is a truly charming restaurant offering a wide range of delicious traditional Persian and Afghan dishes. The restaurant is in the centre of Mile End, and Ariana’s terrace is seating right in Mile End Park. It’s definitely the to go place for an exclusive relaxed lunch. I always recommend that restaurant to our guest eager to try asian food (away from the crowd) and remind them to order some home made bread on side (don’t miss it!).   Their menu will provide you generous proportion for a really affordable price.

So far I can’t remember anyone who was not totally pleased by their cuisine.

Vinarius Wine Bar

My local wine shop/restaurant

Hidden gem in East London! 
Roman Road Market can seem a bit gloomy, especially when it comes to nightlife – but Vinarius is truly outstanding.
It not only is a place for great wine, which are all reasonably priced, it also has fantastic food with an excellent chef who often changes the menu.
Generally four whites and four reds by the glass and a huge range to take home or enjoy in store. Their staff is attentive and will know how to advise you.
From Spain, Italy or France their wine selection will make you travel.

The Palm Tree

Bars / Pubs Local London Mile End & Victoria Park Village Place Reviews

Much-loved East London Pub The Palm Tree

 

The Palm Tree is a middle-of-nowhere Mile End venue for something money can’t buy – a Cockney experience!

Its canalside position is appealing to summer strollers, but it’s the evening vibe that’s the real draw. There’s often a live band, and since there are no neighbours within shouting distance, late-night knees-ups often get lairy.

It’s just so refreshing to visit somewhere with a distinct lack of hipsters. That is a place to go if you are tired of trendy and hipster over-crowded areas and wish to experience the true east-ender late night.

N.B : Take some cash with you as they’ve never had any card machine.

The Lauriston Pub

Bars / Pubs Local London Mile End & Victoria Park Village Place Reviews Restaurants / Gastropub / Takeout

Victoria Park Night Out

Casual brick-walled pub with stone-baked pizza menu (and local delivery), live gigs and weekend DJs. Just footsteps away from the beautiful Victoria Park, The Lauriston can be found in the heart of Victoria Park Village. With its array of boutiques, gift shops, café, fantastic restaurants and much more.

If you are looking for chilled Friday or Saturday evening this the place to go. Their pizzas are nice for a good value and their staff is super friendly. That’s 10 minutes walk from Park Villa. Fun and relaxing.

 

The Victoria

Bars / Pubs Local London Mile End & Victoria Park Village Place Reviews Restaurants / Gastropub / Takeout

Mile End Pub

 

You will spot The Victoria with its striped awning outside on your way to Victoria Park. It’s a great place to be on weekdays and weekends.

Not your average pub. There are vintage jumble sales at the weekend and during the day one corner of the pub transforms into a hair salon. Weird and amazing clutter decorates the walls, (please have a look at the stuffed squirrels behind the bar) and there’s a little stage which often showcases up and coming Dj’s and bands. If you are looking for a warm and feel-like-home atmosphere that a corner worth to stop.
