The Ten Bells

Great pub! It has historical significance being the pub at least two, possibly all, of the victims of Jack the Ripper were patrons at this establishment. The interior is really beautiful. They have a second floor and have a weekly quiz night. They have an outdoor area with tables and shelves so you can hang out outdoors and have a cigarette or vape. The staff were extremely friendly here. It is very clean and has a really great vibe. The restrooms, which are downstairs, are clean and some of the fixtures look like they are from days of old. Be careful on the stairs as they are narrow and go down in a spiral. There is a handrail to hang on to should you need it. They have a bank of phone chargers downstairs on the level of the restrooms that you can rent for £1.99 for 10 minutes if the battery on your phone needs a boost. They did have some brands of beverage out of stock, but that could be down to popularity; but that's okay because it offers the chance to try something different that you may not have tried before. The blackberry cider and ginger beer were really delicious and hit the spot. We went in the early afternoon which afforded feeat opportunities to take photos. The staff is okay with taking as many pictures as you like. The pub starts to fill up around 4:30. I highly recommend stopping in for a pint (or two!) if you find yourself in the East End of London.

Great and historic East End pub - spectacular vintage interior tiling! The best location for Brick Lane eateries, and Spitalfields/ Petticoat Lane markets. The Old Thumper real ale was fabulous.

We've been there doing our Jack the ripper tour. We actually expected a better ambience but the pub was super crowded and really plain as a service. Since the ground floor was very noisy with a very bad music we visited the upstairs bar, which was much better. Cocktails are really expensive, but it's London and the pub is famous, so, fair enough. Just a little bit more of Jack the ripper atmosphere. Shame they didn't had any themed cocktails. Looks like they want to cancel the infamous history of the area which is the actual reason why people are going there
