Stepney Green is a real and unusual gem. It doesn't feel like London. No. 37 is the sort of house that you would expect to find in a market town in Wiltshire. Walk south west of Stepney Green and you will come to St Dunstan's, a late mediaeval church which was for centuries the 'mother church' for the whole of the East End. Well worth a visit.
I would love for a series of A House Through Time (David Olusoga for the Beeb) on this house! I’ll pop along when the weather gets a bit better, I’m still in hibernation mode currently
Nearby Tredegar Square, left off Mile End Road, heading towards Bow, is another pocket of calm. That whole square half-mile - between Grove Road, Mile End, the A12 and Vicky Park - is full of surprises

Yes, how wonderful would that be!

Agree, Tredegar Square and some of the streets around there are lovely to walk around.
I love these beautiful buildings that pop up in unexpected places in London. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! Me too, I love these pockets that you find in unexpected places.
Beautiful architecture and knowledgeable description of the area. Thank you. The wet weather is much the same here in Ireland unfortunately 😕🙄
Thank you! The interminable grey skies have really been a struggle this year … hoping it gets better soon, here and in Ireland!
This is lovely and takes me back. In the '90s I spent happy years living on the Mile End Road opposite Stepney Green tube.
Thank you! I lived in Spitalfields years ago and always enjoy a walk around these parts.
Beautiful house
