About Ten Bells
Classic, iconic public house serving beer, wine & cocktails in a 3-floor setting.
Shabby chic interior but with striking patterned wall tiling plus 2 large tiled 18th century street scene murals which gave this pub Grade II listing. One of the unfortunate victims during the murderous reign of Jack the Ripper was allegedly last seen alive leaving here. Lunchtime food. Toilets downstairs. 3 handpumps on the bar counter. Classic pub snacks which include homemade pork scratching, pork pies, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and crisps.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
