Brick Lane is an East London Street that runs from Tower Hamlets to Bethnal Green. It has become famous for it's curry houses, graffiti and diverse culture - particulalry the variety of food offered by the street traders at weekends.
It is a vibrant, colourful and fun place to visit - just to people watch....

A growing trend here in the UK seems to be the 'Vintage Coffee Shop' - which is basically a 'Junk Shop' that sells coffee and cakes - as well as all the furniture you sit on and crockery you drink from :)

Thanks Eeyoresny - we had a great day in Highgate park and then the East cemetary.
I am planning to go back to visit the 'West-Side' cemetary which looks fascinating but you can only go in that side on a guided tour due to the larger structures and some dangerous areas.
The website states 'The Egyptian Avenue and the Circle of Lebanon (topped by a huge Cedar of Lebanon) feature tombs, vaults and winding paths dug into hillsides'
(This one is not my photo BTW)

A couple more from the East side:-

Carl Marx - although he lived in London - most of Marx's journalistic writing was as a European correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune

This was artist Patrick Caulfield (with a wicked sense of humour right to the end!)

This was writer Douglas Adams - best known as the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - note the pot of pens as opposed to flowers :)
