On way out at night hard agree with grayfitz & FakeEmpire et al. Walking back to Bethnal Green is the way to go. After bands end they tend to hold you outside Mile End for ages on both sides of the road so can take an age to actually get in. They do put extra trains on so it's pretty fast once you are down the stairs into the tube station & tends to be fairly well organised. If you can get night tube the deffo head for the pub for a pint to allow queues to drop abit. The Crown is ok open to midnight & on corner by main way in so Crown gate on Grove road however we prefer the People's park tavern near Queens gate on victoria park road as better drinks & tends to stay open abit later. YMMV though 🙂
