London is a city of contrasts. East London places to eat and drink, it’s a place where bright red buses roll past against matte grey skies, monolithic concrete council estates loom over creamy Georgian townhouses, and busy roads run straight through serene Royal Parks. This dynamic also extends to the dining scene—it’s not uncommon to find a greasy spoon café perching quietly beside a Michelin-starred restaurant, or a chic, light-filled brasserie housed in the depths of a grim industrial building.
