picture of Pride of SpitalfieldsThe Pride of Spitalfields is a lovely old boozer just off Brick Lane. Formerly the Romford Arms, this place is warm and cosy with a pleasingly wooded interior, old pictures and hundreds of beer bottles lining the walls. The staff are friendly and offer up a good range of well-kept beers (Fullers, usually - and guests). It can get pretty crowded at night with punters drawn from all shades of East End society - old Cockneys, Bangladeshi restaurant staff and artsy types - but it's all very friendly and harmonious. Away from weekend nights its less busy and consequently rather more relaxing, but either way it's definitely worth a visit whenever you're passing. If only the real world was more like this.
