Joan Rose‘s grandparents opened the grocers on Calvert Ave in 1900 and her father ran it until 1966.

Viscountess Boudica has the best collection of vintage domestic appliances in East London.

Henrietta Keeper was in the Tate & Lyle concert party for thirty years and now sings at E. Pellicci.

King Sour DA MC, rapper of Bethnal Green, wants to talk about human dignity.

    I hope you do not mind but I created a #Google+ Event for this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c1fa4o1718ib6j0u4fmih7ec7v0?hl=en

    Have a superb afternoon and evening, hopefully with not too many scenes recreated from the illustration 😉
