Brick Lane and its residents are proud of the independent shops, live music, and street art that flourish throughout the area. At one time however, the area around Brick Lane was made up of slums and crime scenes of the murders of Jack the Ripper. Now, the area is nothing of the sort thanks to huge investment, it’s becoming one of the creative hubs of the capital.
The famous market in The Old Truman Brewery is home to unique designers and you can find anything from handbags and accessories to artistic boutiques and vintage wear. If you like warehouse art exhibitions, Brick Lane is meant for you. Not only is it known for art but also the vintage stores, trendy clubs, bars, eateries and coffee shops that line the street. The area is constantly busy and further down you can find many a curry house. Our favourite spot for a curry however, is in White Chapel at ‘Tayyabs’…
