Here’s a selection of photos taken around Brick Lane and Shoreditch showing off some of the street art that pretty much covers the main thoroughfares.<\/p>\n

First, an ‘official’ installation, called ‘Trading Places.’ The fa\u00e7ade recreates the front of Baker & Son, once a family run butcher shop at 37 Norton Falgate from 1910, while the building on the right ‘pays homage’ to Taj Stores, one of the UK’s first Bengali shops.<\/p>\n

If you’re in the area, visiting the beigel shops of Brick Lane<\/a> is essential. I’m not so sure about this recently introduced gimmick though: I prefer to buy a dozen of the traditional beigels next door, straight from the bakery and just 25p each.<\/p>\n
