London east side

And, if you're a cat-lover like me, you'll probably enjoy it, too! If you have some more time or maybe if some of the above things don't appeal to you , you could go on another tour of East London. With so much diverse history here, there are all sorts of cool things you could learn about. I decided on the Qbic London City hotel , located in Shoreditch.

Thank you for these stories, I love them all. Great post! So true! I can totally understand sticking to the famous and touristy parts of any city on your first visit.

But if you visit multiple times, focusing on just one or two neighborhoods is definitely the way to go! That header shot reminded me of one of my favorite TV shows- Call the Midwife.

It is typically an area not touched upon by visitors, but we went on our first trip to London. Another great spot is Crate Brewery and Pizzeria — right near the canals with some outdoor space and awesome pizzas!

Been to London 3 times and never headed to East London so really looking forward to it. The tour I did was really great I noticed much more of the small stuff than I ever would have on my own , but you can see plenty of it just wandering around on your own, too. Brilliant post, Amanda! East London has some of the best restaurants and street cafes, not to forget the outstanding street art.

Thanks for sharing this post and these amazing pictures. Which is a huge shame in the East End, of course! Great plan! Also… so jealous about the Harry Potter play!!

One of these years I hope to see it too! Looks very cool! What a great idea that is! The East End is definitely one of my favorite parts because of all its quirky character.

But London has SO many cool neighborhoods! Oh my, that Orange smoothie bar is so funny. Lovely pictures too. I need to pay that area a visit! Skip to content.

The choices for those seeking a prized, pale skin tone are myriad. There was a quiet uproar a few years ago when a whitening wash for genitals hit the Thai and Indian markets. The cultural phenomenon of whiteness has spawned an interesting fashion trend amongst the scooter-riding females of Ho Chi Minh City.

Bicycles of days past have been replaced with storms of noisy scooters—driven by women and girls that dress colorfully and with complicated swagger, even in the tropical heat of summer. This cover-up style, a mix of Japanese Hello Kitty accessories, hipster Western jeans, and logo-laden sweatshirts is something unique to this time and place.
