This row of terraced Victorian houses in Elwin Street were just one of many in the East End which were threatened with demolition in the 1970s. Like several streets nearby, they survived. They were renovated and sitting tenants were given the opportunity to buy them for £8,000. Now they are worth £350,000.

On the west side of Shoreditch High Street, this building dates from a time when it was considered worthwhile to make industrial buildings look attractive.

The bandstand on Arnold Circus, in the Boundary Estate. Looking north from Club Row. From Wikipedia: The Boundary Estate is a housing development, formally opened in 1900, in the East End of London, England. The estate, constructed from 1890, was one of the earliest social housing schemes, and was built by the London County Council as the world's first council housing, replacing the Friars Mount slum, the rubble of which was used to construct a mound in the middle of Arnold Circus at the centre of the development, housing a still extant bandstand. The estate consists of multi-storey brick structures, surrounding the central mound.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking east. The photographer stands in Boundary Street, with the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch behind him, and that of Bethnal Green in front. When the notorious Old Nichol rookery was cleared in the 1890s, the whole street pattern and names of the streets were changed, with only two or three streets on the edge retaining their names. Old Nichol Street and Boundary Street are two of these, although the former used to have the possessive, as Old Nichol's Street.
