Ten Bells is an East London boozy bulwark that’s stood in the middle of Shoreditch since the mid-17th century. Embracing its historical heritage, which notably includes being a favorite haunt of Jack the Ripper, Ten Bells maintains chipped tiles on its floors and battered seats by its bar, complemented by antique newspaper clippings framed on the walls. You’ll find both locals and tourists in this eerie joint, sipping on quality beers, wines, and cocktails like a gin and tonic, martini, sidecar, martini, and cucumber sour. Though often packed, Ten Bells has plenty of breathing room across its three floors.
