I’ve been to Brick Lane.It was a very interesting walk with my teacher and colleagues at the college.There is so much history collected in this area .
I loved the contrast between the huge, complex, new glass brick buildings and small houses with walled-in windows, filled with multiple histories.

I think this video is interesting and you can understand better how London has become the city that today we know. This video doesn’t involve only a history about the londoners, it is about the important changes in a country and racist progession. Is always good to learn more about history.

This is a really lovely tour and very informative makes me want check out the docks story myself and visit – very revealing. The onus on manufacturing making Britain great is not how we tend to see things these days as the onus is always on trade.
