the Tower Hamlets experience

Tower Hamlets were one of the areas I had been looking most forward to check out, both because its where I live, but also because its really big and there are many parts of it that I have ever seen.

I found loads of great grpahics there, and met some really interesting people.

During 4 hours I checked out the new olympic stadion, I was invited to church coffy with two 85 year old catholic wimen in Bow, I got lost and fooled myself into a old trashy trailer park filled up with caraveans that was shaped as houses (but with wheels) and had a fag with a 70 year old woamn in adidas, no teeth and with a pony tail, and on the top of that I was invited into a house full of gay bear men doing their spring cleaning (4 of them!)

I found Poplar the most interesting area. The people who lived there loked like they had been in the same place all of their lives





. Such a contrast to trendy shoreditch or international clapton.

Church signs in London/ 8: City of London

City of London is definetly the most strict and ritvh borough Ive been in in London. Its over all wealthy, and the archtiecture is very posh, strict and in a mixture of hyper modern and old classic. Its also the oldest part of London, and its rammed with churches... witch almost all lok pretty identical, at least design wise. It was almost a churc on every corner, abut even though it was more churches then in the other boroughs, the visual identity were the most over same. In City of London Ive also found the most modern church signs so far, especially in places like Saint Pauls Cathedral, and Salvation Army.
