Bethnal Green is a mixture of hideous council flats and nice and small parks. There are nice cafés and pubs and it's right in the heart of East London! There's also a great flowermarket! Although the appearance is a bit grim, this is one of the nicest areas in East London. It's a place of contrasts. Some of the places are really hip, while some show the reality of the poor. In a very little time the flats on the free market have become very expensive in this area.
