About the Vibe
Tucked on the corner of Commercial Street and Fournier Street, The Ten Bells is a proper East End institution that somehow manages to feel both historically authentic and delightfully modern. The blue and white tiles from 1900 still line the walls, and that ghostly Victorian gentleman supposedly lurking in the upstairs bar adds a certain spookiness that locals seem to enjoy. It's the kind of place where you'll find hip young Londoners mixing with older regulars, all gathered around the same well-stocked bar serving quality beers and inventive cocktails.

Historic East End institution with serious atmosphere
The Ten Bells is one of those rare London pubs that genuinely feels like it's been part of the community for generations. You walk in and immediately notice the atmospheric candlelight reflecting off those beautiful Victorian tilesâthere's something genuinely special about being in a space that's seen so much history. The bar gets properly busy, especially on weekends, but that's part of the charm; you're not coming here for quiet contemplation, you're here to be part of the buzz.
Their beer selection makes sense given they're part of the London Beer Factory network, and the cocktails are surprisingly well-crafted for a traditional pub. The location right on Commercial Street puts you in the heart of Spitalfields, so you can easily wander over to Brick Lane for food afterwards if you're feeling hungry. Just be prepared for it to be crowdedâthis isn't a place to go if you're looking for a quiet pint.

The Ten Bells est l'un de ces pubs londoniens rares qui semblent vraiment faire partie de la communautĂ© depuis des gĂ©nĂ©rations. En entrant, vous remarquez immĂ©diatement l'atmosphĂšre feutrĂ©e des bougies qui se reflĂštent sur ces belles tuiles victoriennesâil y a quelque chose de vraiment spĂ©cial dans cet espace qui a vu tant d'histoire. Le bar devient vraiment animĂ©, surtout le week-end, mais c'est partie intĂ©grante du charme ; vous ne venez pas ici pour une contemplation tranquille, vous venez faire partie de l'animation.
Leur sĂ©lection de biĂšres a du sens Ă©tant donnĂ© qu'ils font partie du rĂ©seau London Beer Factory, et les cocktails sont Ă©tonnamment bien prĂ©parĂ©s pour un pub traditionnel. L'emplacement juste sur Commercial Street vous place au cĆur de Spitalfields, donc vous pouvez facilement vous promener jusqu'Ă Brick Lane pour manger aprĂšs si vous avez faim. PrĂ©parez-vous simplement Ă ce qu'il soit bondĂ©âce n'est pas l'endroit pour aller prendre une pinte tranquille.
