Bethnal Green West
Tower Hamlets, London
Bethnal Green West sits between Shoreditch and Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets, an inner-east ward pressed against the City boundary and shaped by the Columbia Road strip and the post-war council blocks of the 1950s. Around nineteen per cent of the ward falls inside a conservation area. The fifty-one listed buildings include the Grade II* Keeling House, Denys Lasdun's 1957–59 cluster-block maisonettes — a landmark of post-war modernist housing and the second example of post-war council housing to be Grade II* listed. Transport is very good, with Bethnal Green on the Central line, Shoreditch High Street and Hoxton on the Overground. Seventy-four Ofsted outstanding rated schools fall within reach, an unusually dense education footprint. The food and retail offer is dense — 230 eating places and 161 non-food outlets. The honest downsides are safety and air: crime sits in the bottom quarter of London wards, and air quality is poor along Old Street and Bethnal Green Road.
