Busy Of Bethnal Green

posted: Saturday, 21 April 2012

After our meal last night we're staying in Bethnal Green at the jaw-droppingly awesome Town Hall Hotel. We first visited here a few weeks ago for a cocktail tasting and decided that next time we'd book in for food and a stay so we didn't have to make the hour+ long journey home on public transport- and boy was that a good idea.

After a small hiccup, our feature double room had the unusual and unwanted feature of the toilet basically right by the bed, separated only by some glass and visible from everywhere in the room. Seriously, who ever thought this was a good idea? As we hurriedly went down to reception to ask for a change of room we were told that all the rooms were like, at which point we nearly turned on our heels and left, but fortunately our new 'apartment' was much better. Someone had even thought to put the toilet in its own room with proper walls and everything- genius.

We had a lovely busy day today with a trip to the Last Tuesday Society, a walk along the canal, a wander in Broadway Market, dinner sitting out in the sun, a browse of some lovely shops, a swim in the beautiful hotel pool, a drink in Victoria Park as the sun went down and much more- all of which I forgot to bring my camera for so instead I can just show you these shots taken in the room and on the way here yesterday.
