Drink at the Approach Tavern

The Approach Tavern, at 47 Approach Road, Bethnal Green, is a pub that your author passes most evenings on his bike ride home. It was a good spot for a drink last night and the pub turns out to be a drinking hole for journalists from the East London Advertiser, Tower Hamlets' local newspaper.


It is a great little pub with ales from Fullers and a range of food and even an art gallery upstairs. Whilst the pub is open normal pub hours, the art gallery is limited to Wednesday to Sunday from 12 noon until 6pm.

Just around the corner from the London Chest Hospital, it's a good spot on a beautiful little street, and though there are many fantastic pubs in this area, you could do a lot worse. It's nice and big so you certainly won't struggle for a seat.
