What makes Spitalfields special is its people. We will visit, see and learn about the Huguenots who left us the legacy of so many wonderful buildings. The rich Jewish heritage with the old Synagogue’s and beigel shops. Not forgetting the famous Brick Lane with its Southern Asian style restaurants and Mosque.
Increasingly the whole area is become incredibly vibrant and we will visit the unique Brick Lane and some of the funky markets and street-art nearby at Shoreditch and the famous old Trumans Brewery.
Everywhere in Spitalfields, culture and vibrancy goes hand in hand with history, poverty and misery and we will see the old subterranean Charnel House within a few seconds walk of the wonderful Spitalfields Market.
