 | ^ Mile End University Students........hello Mile Endians......about to move to Mile End to Study at Queen Mary and just wondered what the area is like for things like safety, comfort, atmosphere, nightlife, music scene, transport? any help would be massively appreciated! Many thanks. Matthew ( Mail-me ) Post reply -->London Mile End Matthew 14 Aug Should we remove this post ? ^ Mile EndHello, I work at QM and have lived in Mile End for 4 years. Around the Uni, there are alot of bars, pretty much to suit any taste - ranging from expensive gastropubs (like 'The Morgan Arms' to the comfy boozer 'The Coborn Arms', to the student favourites 'La Luna' and 'The Hayfield' (the local 'Scream' bar...), to proper East End pubs, as well as the famous 'Palm Tree' bar in Mile End Park...) The QM Student's Union is usually a hive of activity during term time, with it's own nightclub which is open every weeknight... Some nicer/trendier bars can also be found around Victoria Park (which is 15 mins walk away from Mile End tube, 20 mins from QM), and also a couple in Bethnal Green. A walk up Regent's Canal will also lead you to Islington... the #277 bus also goes there from Mile End, where there are numerous bars/clubs etc.... Post reply -->London Mile End 14 Aug Should we remove this post ? ^ Mile EndTransport links to town are good, with Mile End and Stepney Green stations within 5 minutes of QM. The #25 bus (a 24-hour bus) takes you straight into town via Liverpool St. and a 10 min walk up to Bethnal Green will allow you to catch the #8 bus (also a nightbus), which goes via Shoreditch/Brick Lane... Shoreditch, Hoxton and Old Street are within easy travelling distance. For live music, there are bars/clubs in Shoreditch, Bethnal Green and on Whitechapel Rd that are pretty handy. The area as a whole is a mixture of some nice bits and some not quite so nice bits, but in my experience, I haven't had any problems... I have numerous friends in the same postal area who similarly have not had any security/safety problems either, except one or two in Hackney...! Mile End Park/Regent's Canal make for a pleasant atmosphere during the day, but it's generally a good idea to avoid it at night. But the streets around Mile End Road and Bethnal Green are busy 24/7, and are generally safe. Post reply -->London Mile End Chris 14 Aug Should we remove this post ? Mile End Help finding church with pentagramHello fellow people of Mile End. I saw a church place in a gardening show called the city gardener, show was shot at Mile End, Now this church had a pentagram etched in stone and quite big. Can someone help me by naming this place and where I might find some information on it in regards to history and the point why there is a pentagram there, I guees it goes back before the christain faith as I have heard that it was a symbol used before this time amonst believers of God ??? I would like to extend my knowledge to the truth and what is this on this churh place??? Post reply -->London Mile End Lianna Turner 30 Jun Should we remove this post ? ^ Mile End AnswersHello, The chucrch was St Barnabas Bethnal green on the corner or grove road. The pentagram the "right" way up is a symbol of King David. It is not a secrect sign or satanism in the church and there is no hawksmore relation... Just a victorian revival or early christian symbolism. Mail-me Post reply -->London Mile End Jabba 2 Jul Should we remove this post ? ^ Mile End St Barnabas Church, Grove Road,St Barnabas Church, Grove Road. Not sure about the pre-christian thing.. I have walked past this church many times in recent weeks. The pentagram looks like a later edition to an existing round window, the stones around the window appear to be a different colour to the existing masonary. I doubt you'll ever see this response.. I can't tell how long ago you posted it. Hope this helps anyway. I found your post searching google for similar answers to yourself. scribla_ AT hotmail.com Post reply -->London Mile End Danny 18 Nov Should we remove this post ? ^ Mile End nope, the symbol of king david has six points, comprising two intersecting triangles.Mile End Mile End - new viewMany views on Mile End are based on the grotty view that greets you as you leave the tube station. However, take a stroll up Grove Road, past the beautiful Ecology Park and Gardens, go via the legendary Pineapple Pub where the locals gather for late night jazz sessions and everyone is welcome, stop off for Londons best fish and chips and The Britiannia then on to modern Bow Wharf development which includes a gym, shops and bars - not forgetting the great nights to be had at Jonguleurs comedy club. If you still aren't convinced a short stroll will bring you to the stunning Victoria Park - make sure you walk round the fountains. Mile End may not be Chelsea, but it is a world away from the hustle and bustle of most of London - plenty of well kept parks, canals and wide open spaces - and all just 5 minutes into Bank. Enjoy!

Thanks Mail-me Post reply -->London Mile End Nina 7 Jan Should we remove this post ? ^ Mile End^ Mile EndYou can't miss the Mile End Leisure Centre, which is on Burdett Road, ie. go south from the big Mile End crossroads towards Canary Wharf. It's a one-yr old council run centre with brand new facilities. For yoga there are several places. Google Bodywise, The yoga place on the Roman, or there are the quiet space and the more expensive but worth-it Canary Riverside Holmes Place and the Reebok Gym, both in Canary Wharf.
