Sarra from London

I was born and raised in Greece before moving to London in 2004. What was meant to be a temporary adventure turned into nearly 20 years of calling one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals my home. These days, I work as a freelance researcher and writer, loving the flexibility that remote working brings.

Adam and Eve London

Burgers, Beers and East London Vibes

"The Adam & Eve in Homerton is a lively East London pub with a vintage charm, leafy beer garden, craft drinks and some of the city’s best burgers. Enjoy!"

In the heart of Homerton, The Adam & Eve captures everything that makes East London’s pub culture so magnetic. This lively local remains a cornerstone of the neighbourhood and serves as the go-to spot for residents, blending the feel of a classic British boozer with the buzz of a modern social hub.

The interior is warm and unpretentious, featuring vintage furniture, an ornate copper-tiled ceiling, comfy booth-style corners and pool tables, including what they call their signature, L-Shaped’ table. The spacious beer garden, one of its standout features, is a summer favourite: leafy, relaxed, and perfect for catching up with friends over a pint. Live DJs and events give weekends a vibrant edge, while the weekday crowd brings the easy-going rhythm of Homerton life.

The drinks list includes craft beers, cocktails, and a solid selection of wines. With a weekday happy hour from 17:00 to 20:00, it is no surprise the place fills up quickly. The kitchen operates in collaboration with acclaimed chef Richard Turner, known for serving up what many consider some of the best burgers in the city. Both the classic cheeseburger and vegan burger are available for £10 during weekday happy hour, an excellent deal by London standards.


Whether you’re dropping in for after-work drinks and a burger, or just soaking up the easy-going vibes, The Adam & Eve is a perfect example of how a great local pub can balance tradition with a touch of East London cool.
