Restaurants, bars, shops, transport and things to do in Bethnal Green

Victoria Park, the largest park in Tower Hamlets, is just a five-minute walk from Netteswell House

Netteswell House is located in Bethnal Green, a lively and sought-after area in the East End of London, known for its rich history, cultural diversity, and vibrant atmosphere.

Excellent transport links serve the area, with Bethnal Green underground station (Zone 2) only a three-minute walk away.
