April 18, 2017 - We went on a walk thru London's East End this afternoon.
The steeple in the background belongs to a Protestant church ("Christ Church") placed in this area in 1711 by Queen Anne for "the Godless thousands who had no place to worship."
In 1888 the church grew in infamy. It was the bells of this church that pinpointed for many witnesses the times of the Jack the Ripper crimes which took place in this neighborhood.
Today, the area is rapidly gentrifying and people are working to save it's unique character. We visited 'Bangladesh Town' and Brick Lane. We saw some amazing food stalls and street art here.
