I went to The Dove on Broadway market on Saturday night - really enjoyed it for a fun few drinks and some nice food with my girlfriend. Really like it around that way, such a nice vibe.

Yeah the roasts in the Dove are really good, nice place if you can't be arsed with the fixie massive in the Cat & Mutton.

I went to the horse and grooma couple of weeks ago and had a really good time but on Friday there was a totally different crowd, everyone seemed to be ridiculously fucked and aggro

I went to the Hussein Chalayn one at the Design Museum on Saturday, worth a look http://www.designmuseum.org/exhibitions/2009/hussein-chalayan - not in East London but you can get a bus (149 and a couple more) from outside Liverpool street to London bridge in about ten minutes

Yeah if you want nice pubs go towards spitalfields or columbia road/broadway market, Royal Oak, Cat & Mutton and The Dove are worth going to.
I was in the Golden Heart last night, always an alright night in there

I went out to buy a kebab after and watched a couple of heads fighting outside east vilage Laughing out loud (I think that's what it's called anyway?)
