Omg I love this series so much already!! Will be looking at your guides before any trips to london from now on. I love your recommendations too, these are all the things I’d want to explore! 🥰

[@katesnooks]

Yay thank you! xx

[@hannahfleming8840]

Thank you for the effort of doing this video, I live in Scotland so can't pop down to explore London as often as I'd like so really appreciate this view of the city. Want to go to all the places you showed us! X

[@katesnooks]

Thanks so much for this comment Hannah xx

[@leadvorsak]

Oh, I stay in this area every time I come to London, must have been there around 10 times now so it feels like 'my London'. And I haven't been able to come to London in the past 2 years, miss it so much. But I'm so happy to see you roam the streets I normally walk on. This was a video just to warm my heart and I thank you!

[@Flyingtoescape]

Such a great video! This series will be great! I will definitely plan a trip to Bethnal Green now, I'm living not that far and I have never been 😱

[@katesnooks]

yay!! xxx

[@beautymarked88]

Absolutely loved this video! Really appreciate all the effort you put into it. I'm a South London girl but you've inspired me to take myself on a day date exploring this area! x

[@katesnooks]

Thanks so much!! xxx

[@LiberaDaSempre00]

This video is amazing, thanks a lot for starting this series! I marked all those places down now, so I feel like a trip to Bethnal Green is due very soon 🙌🏼

[@UgoArinzeh]

Such a quirky area of London - and I will have to visit the conservatory archives for my next plant investment.

[@carlybenarbia9193]

Please can you do a brick lane video x

[@katesnooks]

Will do for sure!

[@clairelucy8496]

Brick Lane and Columbia Road please. Also other ideas could be Battersea, Clapham. Loved this video thank you.

[@gloriawaters1455]

Hi Katie i was born in Gascoigne place which is off Colombia Road im 86 years young, you talk about the price of properties my old house where grew up was 2 storeys high with an oitside toilet and a cold water tap when my grandson took me back 6 years ago we stood ouyside my old house and was told it sold for £1-4 million pounds 7 ears ago 😂😂

[@brookecoleman5856]

I don’t live in London (or England for that matter), and have no plans to visit any time soon, but I am SO excited for this series! It’s like a little mini vacation :) Katie “Rick Steves” Snooks. Hope this is helpful feedback!

Can't believe you missed out Viktor Wynd's museum! Its a gem of Bethnal Green! Thanks for the vlog though :-)

Girl you don’t stop eating 😂

[@toni4729]

You're so busy showing us your face, you've forgotten to show us where you are and where you're going.

[@jackyoung3046]

Bethnal Green looks too hipster and gentrified for my tastes. The Cockneys that inhabited the area and gave it it's style have long moved away.

[@toni4729]

I'm sure there's a bit more to Bethnal Green than a few shop fronts. 👎

[@Adwoa_Agyei]

She didn't want to show the rich ethnic culture in bethnal. White vloggers also dis the same thing to peckham only filmed the pubs and coffee shops

[@toni4729]

I got fed up with looking at you and your shaking phone. You're supposed to be showing us the area.

[@joannalynch-lawrenson5746]

Katie that was awesome and can't wait to visit Bethnal green now - from Vancouver Canada :)

[@carlybenarbia9193]

Great video,going to go in few weeks with my girls xxx

[@akshaynet1]

I have been there just last month, so it is exciting to see it again through your video

[@katesnooks]

So glad you enjoyed this!

[@camilleprovins1934]

Love love this!! Such a good idea, really appreciate the amount of work you put in for us xx Also I could be wrong but I think Crown Works Pottery used to be a tattoo parlour, got my first tattoo here :)

[@alelollo9432]

I have been in Bethnal Green for 4 years of my life . Greetings from Rome 💪🏻

[@katerinakucharova3221]

Brilliant ! Thank you, Katie XXX

I loved this! I felt like I could experience being on vacation again (it's been a while lol)

[@katesnooks]

Thank you!!

[@lucylisle]

I was from East Ham but used to go to Bethnal Green a lot when I was little, the 70’s’! I liked the library! Proper East enders eat pie snd mash with a spoon! I thought you was going to!

[@katesnooks]

Love this comment !

[@daisybashton]

Also love the Gallery Cafe for Vegan food in Bethnal Green and the Approach Tavern is also worth a visit! Surprised they weren't mentioned in this guide!

[@katesnooks]

Will check them out! x

@@katesnooks Brag about your own videos do you?

[@OhHoneyBeehave]

I've lived in Bethnal Green for 6 years now and you'll have to drag me from the area. I love it so much. I'd also recommend the Angel and Crown pub, The Florist Arms (which do the best pizza) pub which are near the Buddhist Centre.

[@katesnooks]

Fab!!
