You’ll find one of the most exciting places to bring your camera for a street hunting in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, more exactly in Brick Lane. It runs from Aldgate, through Spitalfields, ending in Bethnal Green, all of course genuinely placed east in the city.

Brick Lane has been an ethnical melting pot for a long time. In the 19th century it was made up mostly by Irish People and Ashkenazi Jews, but nowadays the Bengalis have more or less taken over as the largest group of the area, reflecting in its copious amounts of nice curry houses.

This picture was taken as I leisurely strolled the street in the direction of Bethnal Green. I think the lady in the alleyway captures the pulse of a modern city spot on. And, remember, no matter which religion is right for you, one thing’s for sure. Always keep your telephone ready!
