When West Ham United Football Club left Upton Park and moved to Stratford, many assumed the neighbourhood would become a ghost town of empty luxury flats, shuttered pubs and general tumbleweed. In fact, the area between East Ham and Upton Park is still extraordinarily vibrant, with a wide selection of authentic South Asian and Eastern European restaurants where you can eat a full meal for a fiver or less.
A good number of the restaurants here open their doors bright and early, providing a wide choice of breakfasts to the diverse community. Vasantha Vilas, on High Street North, specialises in South Indian traditional fare such as idli and sambar, dosa and uttappam, serving veritable feasts from 7am.
Lunch options in Upton Park and East Ham are incredible value for money.
