The Ten Bells in Tower Hamlets

Visited it on a Saturday afternoon and wow was it busy. However service was quick, decent range of craft on the bar. Would like to go back when it’s a little less hectic

Popped into The Ten Bells a few times on our recent trip to Shoreditch. Great Guinness and loved the moody atmosphere.

The most important feature of this bar and this area is that Jack the Ripper committed the murders in this area and all the victims have this bar in common. Considering that the murders were committed in the 1880s, imagine how old, authentic and deep-rooted the place is. 15 minutes to central London. In the distance. One bus😉

Great bar. Lazy staff. If you go up to the cocktail lounge. He didn’t want to make a cocktail but the guy next to him made one. Avoid the young lazy bartender. Ask the bar back. He’s more accommodating.

Except for the fact that this pup appears in many Jack the Ripper films and that makes it interesting, nothing unusual. Just a pup

Last night my friend and I, after a dinner in a lovely Asian restaurant in Brick Lane, as you do, we decided to have our last drink at the famous The Ten Bells. Was busy, good atmosphere. After we finished drink a bottle of prosseco, which wasn’t as cold as we expected, but we enjoy it anyway, we decided to pop upstairs where there were cocktails available to purchase. We thought to have the last drink of the night and finish on high spirit. Before going upstairs, we decided to go to the loo, but seeing how the stairs were so old, probably full of history, we took some pictures while we were there. All of sudden a girl came from upstairs, telling us off, to get out of her way. We just laughed and finished taking the pictures anyway. However, when we reached the cocktail bar, the same girl were behind the bar, flipping her fingers onto her phone, looking miserable, like she hate her job. Meanwhile, her colleague, a nice young man, served us, very polite, made us feel so welcome. When I asked him who was she, he told that she, Megan her name, was the supervisor, which made me feel shocked. How come a supervisor could look miserable like that, let alone rude with customers? Many people goes to The Ten Bells to have the experience to drink in a pub where by the history, was where Jack the Ripper could maybe being in 1888. I really hope that the management explain to her that customers are not always right but at least treat them well and with more enthusiasm. By the way, the cocktail was delicious.

Can see why Jack the Ripper liked this place

Great atmosphere and very reasonable price on drinks. Good vibe

Enjoyed some delicious beer here from a local brewery. I wonder what Jack the Ripper would have thought, had he known that this pub would one day play Miley Cyrus songs. Makes you think.

Iconic east end pub. Great selection of drinjs

Fantastic vibey boozer with a ton of history, cool staff and Guinness drinks!

A fantastic pub, great selection of delicous beers and friendly characters behind the bar. Great to see a historical pub not being turned into an an anonymous big chain duplicate. Perfect for a couple of pints after work or if you have been shopping in Spitalfields Market

Cool place to visit once you know the back story. Now, it's over run with 20 somethings.

Enjoyed a pint of Hells and a glass of Sauvignon blanc. Service was great, nice friendly guy and atmosphere was lively. Perfect for a Saturday night. Wish I wasn’t about to eat as fancied trying the Espresso Martini on tap… too filling before food - next time :-)

My favourite pub in London. Service is always great.

Busy place on a Monday afternoon! Good selection of beers.

Good historical pub, opposite Spitalfields, nice beers, quieter bar upstairs with decent cocktails

We popped in here after doing the ripper tour, It just seemed appropriate. The decor was tired but still nice and suited to its surroundings. Service was just Service. My partner had a bottle of zero so no worries with that but I had a pint of draught beer. I'd say it was definitely the worst drink I'd had in 20 years. Cost was a tad over £11 which was probably to be expected because of the location. As requested by the owner I've added a photo of the offending beer which was something pale.

Finding out this was jack the ripper pub 🍻 it's so cool, also amazing atmosphere 😎😀

Always good for a drink, great service, very efficient and friendly.

My favorite place in London to grab a few midday pints. Not only is it a historic spot but has great attentive staff, friendly patrons and a nice selection of draft beers. Was recently bought by a large brewery and I hope that they can retain the essence that has made this place special for the 30 years I’ve been frequenting this place…….

Great pub in heart of Spitalfields, always busy and lively

Good beer selection and ideal for an after-work beer

Just feeling the gusts of history. Jack The Ripper in 1888 ravaged these neighborhoods

One of my favorite stops when in London. The obvious stop for Ripper fans and folks taking the tour - stop before and after! Smaller bar but cozy, solid and attentive staff. No food, save some chips but plenty of other places around to eat so no worries. Very old London feel to the bathrooms, but they do the job! Espresso martinis ON DRAFT! Always at least a little busy so fun atmosphere. Be sure to stop at Spitalfields market across the street, another must see. Aldgate East was closed underground stop! Stop by, you'll have fun!

Great service, decent amount of seating, good location

Our second drink was a little short, we asked why and the waiter decided to fill it with Lemmon juice

A great place in the busy Spitalfields area. Lots of history to the place but the service is the main draw (always spot on) and they always have a good selection of drinks on tap. Enjoy !

Lots of history. Looked awesome, but didn't visit because we wanted food instead of just drinks.

Been wanting to go to this pub since reading about Jack the Ripper. Lovely decor, nicely situated and an easy to find pub. Was empty when I went in, bar staff were friendly. Such an iconic pub, will definitely be heading back again.

Awesome pub with great drinks and an amazing vibe

It's a pub they sell booze I cannot confirm how many bells sadly

Quite a busy little pub, we visited during our Jack the Ripper tour. Reasonably priced, decent selection of beers and friendly staff. Toilets were a little pungent though.

Good music and better beer (guinness of course)

Nice old Victorian pub, some of the ripper victims drank in here

This pub is a shambles the staff are clueless and embarrassing, the manager clearly installs the wrong message into the staff , I’m utterly shocked how they act not only to the customer but the product they where serving. would rather sit at home with my ex wife , avoid at all costs

Can’t get more “British Pub” than The Ten Bells! Great location in East end. Awesome people watching location with a pint in your hand. A ton of history - can’t beat drinking where Jack the Ripper drank. Friendly bartenders. Good selection of beers and an awesome Pims cup. Perfect London afternoon break from the crowds.

Good pub near Spitalfields. Perfect for a pre-dinner pint!

Great Pub, quality beer, good service.

One of London's historic pubs, of those in which strange presences have manifested themselves, sadly famous for a bloody and brutal death in the past, and perhaps above all famous for this event. Excellent beer, although not reasonably priced. Friendly and helpful staff.

Always stop off for a couple of pints here when I'm in London a great place no Bells or whistles just it is what it is a good vibe

Des sombres 👌. Les serveurs on vu 3 anglaises irlandaises ca commencait a sucer . Offrir des shooter et tout à.lors que les gens qui consomait n'avait rienpour eux . La cotat c nous on se reverra

The Ten Bells is a smaller pub on site since the 17th century and a character in the Jack the Ripper legend. The basement bathrooms are said to be haunted but the pints upstairs and music are enjoyable as well. Wish they had merch, I'd be buying Ten Bells Pub shirts for everyone back home. If you do the Ripper tour, come back for a couple pints at the Ten Bells. Lots of history.

Great selection, including German Beers 🍻

Great boozer next to spitalfields market. All sorts of punters, good music.

Literally flew in from Canada for 24 hours, just to spend a night at the Ten Bells Pub.. One of London's most iconic Pubs. I was told by the millennial blonde manager that there was "no record of the reservation in her system". After being informed of the trip, she could have cared less that a patron flew 5,804 kilometers to visit and directed me to the top floor of the building to play computer bar trivia. New ownership took over 48 hours ago. You guys are off to a brilliant start! Well done!! If I could leave you zero stars, I would.

Great pub! Perfect place to have a couple of beers

popped in for a pint because of its history. Barmaid was nice and friendly. The place was clean and tidy. The Camden Hells was good.Glad we visited.

Stopped at the pub while meeting with a few friends. The building itself is really historic and positioned very well with standing tables with cover outside. Around £6.70 for a pint of hells and unfortunately not a great selection of real ales. Overall not bad.

I found the first IPA I actually like here. Great pub to grab a pint.

The place is a 10/10, but the toilets are a hole.

Popped in for a beer, wasn't disappointed, great brews and reasonable prices for London, good atmosphere and service.

Beautiful old pub, great people and drinks.

A real experience!!! Cool atmosphere...

Great spot to spend the afternoon with good beer, music, and vibes.

bit pricey, the place is nice need a touch ups but nothing kinda weird for an old place. Not sure about the tip thing, they just serve me a beer and say thanks 🤷🏻‍♀️

Excellent pub and bar , great variety of beers and other drinks available, nice food menu also wonderful atmosphere, price reasonable 😀 staff wonderful and friendly

Nice pub with good service and music

Great pub. Always a friendly reception with a great history.

Very busy, staff worked very hard to serve everyone, which they did. Not many seats, but did manage to get one. Typical London prices.

Love this pub. Nice friendly staff. Love the old tiled walls and wooden floors.

Nice pub, nice atmosphere not trying to be anything other than a decent pub and meeting place. Did not have food but it looked fine

If you have the opportunity to go upstairs don't miss it ! It kinda feels dark and bit spooky... Definitely feels old and you can picture how it was back in the 19th century.

Went with some friends here. The former Jack the Ripper pub. Trendy. Great atmosphere. Friendly people there.

Great drinks, service and trivia!

Spare the silly tourists, this pub is lovely and historically significant.

Good pub, lager selection, not sure about being asked to Tip at a pub, especially as they don't do anything in addition to a normal pub, I.e serve beer at a bar

Lovely place. Really good drinks. A bit pricey.

We had to go and try the gin here after Jack the Ripper tour guide. Was great

I've drunk a beer and left... Nothing to complain

Typical pub, maintaining the decoration of the period. Related to the story of Jack the Ripper. Make a stop if you go to Spitalfields.

Great place for a couple pints with your mates.

Along with a few others we arrived slightly before opening time at 12 on a Sunday so was fortunate to have a choice of seats. Much smaller than we expected , but retained enough charm that we were not disappointed. I think most were like us and had found the pub intriguing due to the Ripper history, it filled up very quickly. The church next door is fabulous also.

Rachel was the most helpful bartender, the most amazing person ever! very eager to help us on our way and generally very lovely!

One of the oldest venues in London, evocative and perfectly maintained over time. Even today it recalls the stories of Jack the Ripper in a singular atmosphere of today

Staff are always so friendly. Music too loud for chatting with friends though!

Decent pub, good pub quiz with separate room upstairs

Typical place, one of the best in the area. Good beer and drinks.

Stopped here for drinks after eating at the Flat Iron and had a great experience. Nice ale, lots of choice and overall great vibe. managed to find a table with some seats and spent the evening enjoying the beer. The toilets are down some steep stairs but they may have some disabled on the ground but am unsure. Lovely service and fair prices. Great evening had by us all.

Typical English pub. Environment is very nice.

Extremely noisy at night but very nice traditional pub

Great pub, awesome service and dog friendly ;-). Went again tonight 29/02/24, again an absolutely lovely evening - thank you

Traditional pub , far and few between these days , and , in the heart of the East End

Couldn't get in with teenage children. Shame to be turned away in the middle of the day when a vast majority of pubs are happy to welcome all until a certain time. We found a much more welcoming traditional pub down the road.

Nice pub. Staff are lovely and polite. Has a nice atmosphere. Have only been on a weekday evening.

Came here for a drink with friends - so I cannot comment on the food. Very busy and vibrant pub. Great atmosphere and staff were great. Recommended.

Always pop in to the Ten Bells when in town, great atmosphere 😄

Good beer and friendly service.

Great atmosphere but no way you will find a seating place. Good choice of beers. Crowded as hell every afternoon.

I loved to have a pint now and then here.

Nice pub in a nice spot...... Perfect service.

Love it. Great atmosphere, staff are cool. Music's banging!! Lots of great history to it.

After getting together enough chairs at a table of a crowded pub, whilst two members of our family were waiting at the table whilst others got drinks, two members of staff started taking the chairs and table away to our outside! Regardless of the fact we were sitting there, we were told if we wanted to sit then to go outside where he had placed the tables. We literally had our table taking away from us as paying customers! Absolutely terrible service. Don’t waste your money.

Untrained bar staff for busy lunchtime shift. Historic setting, but tatty. Poor choice of pub

Sur deux étages : en bas le pub en haut les coktails Pub british.... Plus aucune trace de Jack l'éventreur.. Sympathique au demeurant

Pub-zabytek. Styl końca XIX wieku.

16€ por dos cervezas, no merece la pena.

The place where "Jack the Ripper's" last two victims were last seen alive. Parts of the floor and decor date back to that time frame. Located across the street from "Ten Bells Church". Very pleasant service.

Immaculate and a must visit for history buffs. And drunks. Whatever floats your boat

Locale storico di Londra..... è il pun dove jack lo squartatore addescava le sue vittime..... Ottimi drinks e birre!!
