MP Jim Fitzpatrick will be pulling a pint at the Bow Bells tomorrow to mark the start of British Pub Week.

The pub on Bow Road will be serving six ales and real cider as the MP for Poplar and Limehouse pops in.

The national beer festival encouraging young and old to enjoy their local pub lasts until November 6.

Last year David Cameron visited his local pub, close to the Prime Minister’s country retreat, Chequers, in Buckinghamshire, as part of the festival.
