In East London, the newly refurbished, family-run Angel of the Bow pub offers visitors great food; cozy stays in boutique bed-and-breakfast accommodations; and, now, a host of immersive seven-day journeys. Offered from Monday to Monday, each day starts with a robust, freshly prepared breakfast. Enchanting rooms at the property are individually designed, and fitted with wooden sleigh beds and upcycled furniture crafted by local artists. Adding to the property’s historic, quirky nature, there’s a luxurious shared bath with a rolltop tub, a walk-in shower room and two additional half-baths.
