"Nobb Ed" was a my mate Dan's view. If anyone wants to copy the design and market it world wide then feel free.
Brick Lane, a 5 minute walk from Spitalfields, is full of curry houses. The area was always home to immigrants, all the way back to French protestants fleeing murderous catholics and Jews from Russia. I know this because every time I go I read the same page in the same guide book. It all seems to have gentrified a bit, with new flats springing up. I should have been taking pictures of Indian shops selling delicious sweets, but went for the cup cakes instead.
