The Camel E2

This new sister bar to Bethnal Green’s The Florist is a bonny wee soul: this lovingly restored, cosy Victorian boozer with its big, butch, polished wood bar was also used as a wartime community centre for non-evacuated children. Modish, loud, floral wallpaper and 1960’s bronze pendant lights contrast with utilitarian furniture. It’s a useful new spot to have a pig’s ear-that’s Cockney for beer, Amstel or Adnams in this case. ‘Home made (as in made in Bristol, we are told) pies and mash come with a twist: fillings include steak and chorizo and Thai green curry.
