#Bow, #London, #E3

The Bow Bells public house at 116 Bow Rd, #Bow, #London, #E3 is symbolic for several reasons. Firstly, it's one of the few surviving pubs (that actually look like pubs) along Bow Road, never mind the area altogether. The pubs name references the Bell that if one could hear ring from ones place of birth, made one an official cockney. Nowadays, you've no chance of hearing The Church of St Mary-le-Bow which is located in the City of #London. Between traffic and other forms of noise pollution, you'll barely hear the bells when nearby. Today, people pass this pub with little idea of its physical and metaphorical significance to east #London and to #England as a whole. I'd like to wish it all the luck in the world. This pub, like so many others, is going to need it. Visible, are the words to the nursery rhyme, which is still played on the Bells of St Mary-le-Bow. @VinnieSullivan
