Probably one of the Manzes shops think theres still one in Chapel St market Islington.....probably like most cities theres still some very traditional shops/businesses that are a good representation of the area.....Manzes is a family going back to the 1800,s in the pie and mash game still have exactly the same recipe they had 100 years ago !!.....same as the Sackers in the fish game and plenty of others who have handed businesses down through families thats something i still love about the East End, despite being virtually taken over by foreigners there is still a very staunch and loyal tradition within born and bred east end people to look out for each other and use each other in business whenever possible......i live half hour away from West Ham now but i still use the old traditional places in my every day life whether it be food,mates or whatever....i still take my dry cleaning to the same shop thats been there since i was a kid.......even silly things like greengrocers,i still use the same stall down Walthamstow High Steet that is owned by a gr grandson of the original owner.........

Tourists will always head for the main attractions but unless you get into the real nooks and crannies of an area you will never see the best of it in my opinion.......i suppose if i went to Manchester id want an Eccles cake.....if i went to Glasgow id want haggis .......but finding the best will not necessarily be at the biggest shop in the centre of the city its like anything your not going to find the best frogs legs at the Eiffel Tower are you

Yes thats the one Manzes went and got an haircut at an old fashioned barbers not far from their aswell though it was twenty odd years ago and probably is now one of them trendy salons like the knave of clubs at bethnal green as been turned into a posh french restraunt.atb dell

In all fairness its a better restaurant than it was pub The Knave was a right khazi....although it might be a listed building thinking about it.

That restaurants got plenty of taxidermy inside quite a mad little gaff really i dont go a bundle on French food but you got to try these things....its bugging me now i cant remember the name of it,must be 10 years since it was the knave.
