The Palm Tree is a great traditional East End pub, with regular music from Thursday to Sunday night. At first glance it's not so different from many pubs in the East End, but the people who play and sing here do it with gusto and there's some real talent too; it's a great night out. The pub is hidden away in Mile End Ecology Park, so it's not terribly easy to find, although it is one of the few surviving buildings in the area. In fact, due to its attractive exterior and authentic interior its appeared on telly quite a few times. There's usually a couple of decent guest beers on the hand pumps and the food really only amounts to sausage rolls and sarnies for the darts teams, along with occasional seafood at the bar. It's got atmosphere and everybody knows everyone else in the pub, but that doesn't mean strangers aren't welcome - it's especially lively at the weekend, when everyone goes for a singsong. It's not changed much over the years and sincerely hope it stays that way.
