East London is steeped in history and on 13 June 1944, the first flying bomb (or Doodlebug as they were known), fell by the railway bridge just off Grove Road. There is a blue plaque on the north face of the railway bridge, which marks the incident. Six people lost their lives and around fifty people were injured by it. The dawn of the doodlebug wa...
I usually wander up the tow path from The Palm Tree pub, under Roman Road, along Victoria Park to Broadway Market. It never ceases to amaze me the array of beautiful barges you pass, but also how many bar boats and cafes have sprung up on the water. Last month, I happened across the International Archive of Dreams, a floating museum in Mile End. I ...
Sunday is the new Friday. Ok, maybe not quite, but Sundays don’t have to be as slow, painful as we think. Every Sunday night, the Old Ford Jazz Club, based in the Eleanor Arms Pubon Old Ford Row, opens its doors for a brilliant night of jazz. They host a range of musicians from well-known names to local performers. It’s a great little spot to spend...
For anyone that has walked along Mile End Road towards Bow, you may have seen a rather grand clock adorning a non-remarkable building above an off-license. The building the clock sits on may not be remarkable, but the lady it remembers certainly was. East London has a strong link with the suffragette movement – Sylvia Pankhurst, formed the East Lon...

The statue first because the hands of the statue were painted red. The story goes that while Gladstone was Prime Minister, he and his Chancellor introduced the ta...

The Ragged School Museum was opened in 1990 in the premises of the former Dr Barnado’s Copperfield Road Ragged School, once the largest free school in London. It opened in 1877 to serve the children in Mile End with a basic education and went on to support tens of thousands access to education. The museum is run by volunteers and now works to recre...
I love this building – it’s a work of art on our doorstep. To anyone who hasn’t seen it in the flesh, it looks as though the block of flats has had a bit of a makeover with a slightly ironic, motivational slogan. In reality, the words belong to the church in front. The church architecture itself was named one of the UK’s best modern churches by the...
As you walk up Mile End Road towards Bow, you could easily walk right past this site, not knowing that it played an important part in the East End’s medical history. The beautiful Georgian building originally belonged to Lord Tredegar before he donated it as a training home for medical probationers. It was designed to offer medical practitioners tr...
This station was built in 1903 by John Dixon Butler, who was famed as the most accomplished Metropolitan Police Surveyor and responsible for designing over 200 police stations and courts during his lifetime.
