Bethnal Green actually began as a village green back in the day. A small settlement on the outskirts of the main city that appeared in Stepney, East London. After steady growth thanks to its proximity to the city, the area grew into a town in its own right and then became part of Greater London.

Bethnal Green is in the heart of London’s East End, with the cultural diversity and creativity that comes with it.

It’s also known for having many conservation areas, Mile End Park and Victoria Park even though the two parks aren’t technically part of Bethnal Green.
