view NW from Calvert Avenue. This fine church, which is Shoreditch Parish Church, dates from 1740 (the present building) and is home of the bells referred to in the well-known children's song 'Oranges and Lemons': 'When I grow rich, said the bells of Shoreditch'

A baroque building in Portland stone dating from 1866, the old Town Hall was designed by Caesar Augustus Long; it had been a renowned boxing venue but re-opened in 2005 after refurbishment for community cultural and small business use. It is administered by the Shoreditch Town Hall trust http://www.shoreditchtownhall.org.uk/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 .

Taken shortly prior to its closure on 9th June 2006, this is Shoreditch Underground station. Closed so that the East London Line can be diverted a little to the north so that the new northern extension can take place.

Just outside Shoreditch underground station was this collection - at least 36 shoes hanging on a wire. I was told this was the expert work of a local... character, who was pointed out to me flitting about nearby with a can of lager in hand.

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-story brick structures, surrounding the central mound.

Despite the damp weather, the market traders were still doing a good trade selling plants and flowers in the Columbia Road Street Market in Hoxton on this May morning. It's become an important and colourful part of the East End Market scene
