Food-wise I may as well live there.
The mixed grill, at about £7, is quite simply epic in scale and usually served with a cautionary 'don't worry, take your time' from the old lady who heaves it to your table.
Thinking about it, I might just have a wander down there in a bit.

Bethnall Green Road is home to quite a few eateries. The two I wouldn't mind going to are E.Pelluci's and the Turkish pida place near Brick Lane (can't remember it's name offhand).
The best restaurant I've bene to in London is Nobu. Ridiculously expensive, but their sushi is the best I've ever tasted. They also serve sake in iced bamboo containers.
