About
The Palm Tree. A traditional East End boozer.Now set in the middle of Mile End Park, originally it was surrounded by houses and a factory. Its incongruous surroundings only add to the charm, however. You may recognise the interior from the number of film and TV appearances the pub has made as an "authentic" location. On Saturday nights the locals crowd into the front bar for a sing-song and the back bar is jammed with trendy students from Queen Mary, University of London. The presence of a student population mean this wonderful pub never has the threatening air of some East End locals and it attracts a mixed crowd.
