This to me is an amazing site:

www.spitalfieldslife.com

Lots of social history, some incredible photos of the east end in the sixties and seventies and an engaging spirit. I'm biased because it is an area of London that I adore. But it is well written and made with love.

I also love The Poke and Panarabian Enquirer. Popbitch can be a laugh too.

+1 Amazingly i was reading that site the earlier in the week.

Its a shame now about the Wool & Fruit Exchange

I don't recognize the city any more, especially Cannon Street, which has changed beyond all recognition.

I remember seeing artists' impressions etc many years ago of what Cannon Street was going to look like.............. I seem to remember covered areas and pedestrianised bits (perhaps even the road itself)......... did that happen?
