Ten Bells

The Ten Bells is one of the most historically significant pubs in London, a Georgian drinking house on the corner of Commercial Street and Fournier Street in Spitalfields that dates in its current form to around 1753. Listed in the Good Beer Guide and featured in countless books and documentaries about the East End, the pub is famously associated with the Whitechapel murders of 1888 -- Mary Kelly, the final victim attributed to Jack the Ripper, is said to have drunk here on the night of her death -- and attracts visitors from across the world as a result. Today, the Ten Bells is a thriving gastropub and craft beer bar that has left its murky past firmly behind.

The interior retains extraordinary Victorian tilework featuring scenes of Old Spitalfields Market, and the pub is Grade II listed as a result. The current owners have transformed it into one of Spitalfields' most characterful drinking and dining destinations, with an excellent selection of craft beers, natural wines and a seasonal food menu. The monthly changing menu features modern British and European dishes. Upstairs, the private dining room is available for events. Open daily. Right opposite Christ Church Spitalfields.
