Last time out, Derek Brook showed us around Carnaby Street, the epicentre of ‘Swinging’ London in the mid 1960s. This time we jump on the bus and head to the East End.
We go on a visual tour from around Whitechapel Station by the Royal London Hospital, through the market, not far from Spitalfields, and up the road to Mile End, Limehouse, Polar, Middlesex Street, past the racist graffiti for ‘MOSELEY’ and pause by an old synagogue in Brick Lane, built when the area was the epicentre of Jewish life in the capital.
