Where to drink and party
It's hard to find greater iconicity than the local boozers in this part of London. Many of
them resemble the Queen Vic from famous London soap opera
Eastenders
. Forgive the
rugged interiors and carpet stains; it's how the locals like it.
Each suburb has a fabulous array of options and you'll never be more than 200 yards from
a pint. Some of the best pubs are detailed below.
