The Spitalfields area in London’s East End war begins a war for new immigrant groups. There are many images of huge, eastern Jews and southern Muslims who have a unique mix.

The times, as Spitalfields still as a secret tip, are past. The economy of the financial sector in the City of London and the credit and trend quarters of Shoreditch – a low, the Spitalfields are one of the four quarters in the cap of East London. Brick Lane with graffiti, art markets, cafes, second-hand shops and fashion boutiques is the heart of Spitalfields. As a Mecca of alternative culture, the Strasse is in fact a tourist guide for every tourist.

In the footsteps of the Huguenots

It was a fact that we ended up in Spitalfields at the Spuren, where the London Entwicklung and the Gesicht were embossed. Daniel Defoe, born in 1660 and author of the successive novels «Robinson Crusoe», written from 18 years. Jahrhunderts die urbanization of society. Spitalfields, which did not win the blessing of Feldern nor of Feldern and the war against the war, in 1720 turned into an Industrial Quarter with 200,000 inhabitants.

This transformation before the Tausende von Huguenotten, dies in France after the broad development of the Edicts of Nantes be followed. The Protestant craftsmen and manufacturers were a trio of Kraft-tips for the emerging textile industry in London, eropenten weaving and spinning and started silk manufactures.

The industrial character of the East End says it is another factory and lower halls, used in trendy lofts. Some of the Huguenots do not think so.

Hints about the Huguenots can find themselves in Strassennamen – on the Fournier Street over the Nantes Passage on the Fleur de Lis Street. Himself died in 1729 in the bombastic Barockstil Christ Church Spitalfields is another migration. The vision of the French giants on the Parlament in Westminster, with the imposing Gotteshäuser by Bau, dies the dominant Dominanz of the Anglican Church of England in the untermauern.

Jewish Bagel Bakery

Between 1870 and 1914 many Osteuropean and Russian Jews were drawn to Spitalfields. Look at poverty and persecution in your homeland. Spitalfields is located in that time of an overcrowded poor and red light district – and in 1880 on the Schauplatz der Morde of Jack the Ripper. Every day, tourist groups of the mystery women’s murders are seen on forced spacings. In the pub «The Ten Bells», where you can imagine a war, you can think and be silent over a pint in the Victorian era.

The Jewish resident can use a quick return to well-being, where he can continue in the living environment. Dennoch found a man in the quarter of the last traces of the Osteuropäische Juden. At the end of Brick Lane I found the Imbissbude «Beigel Shop», which was executed in the year 1855 and was gilded as the first Bagel-Bude of the city. Use the competition shop «Beigel Bake».

It is a good thing that both have received the support of the Londoner Institution, but it is a good idea to do so. In the early morning, the images on the long street length of the night’s warming are visible. Belegt werd de Brötchen etwa with salted Rindfleisch or with Lachs and Frischkäse. The ring-shaped backwaren are smaller here than in the United States and the number of experts who pick up the bagels from Eastern Europe.

Grassy Seeds and Ponies

After the Second World War, the Muslim wanderers sucked from India, Pakistan and for all the Bangladesh in the world – the area was his highest prize. In the social economy of Brick Lane you can visit the South Asian Roots. The frame of the East London Mosque in Whitechapel is a feast in Muslim hands.

When the Brick Lane store, with the Mitarbeitern of Restaurants Angelock, sold the «best Indian food in London». Never stop with the reality of the display. In most guest states, cooking with roots from Bangladesh is at work. A Bangladeshi celebrity runs in the simple restaurant “Graam Bangla” and concrete, which here the authentic Essen-serviert became.

Enjoy the food from the food, fish or meat. Photography on the wall is an example of King Charles III. and King Camilla, who sat before Charles’ on the throne, in the best way to cook in the king, fell away in ‘Graam Bangla’.

As Brick Lane moves eastwards, it collapses between social housing developments and, next to a railway line, simply turns into a farm. The Spitalfields City Farm was to be geared towards an industrial sector for four years. Today, the farm also houses a bio-market and a self-service restaurant. The City Farm offers an oasis in the Greater City and a broader mirror of urban alternative culture and Gentification, the most popular city in East London. At the same time, the cows and the grazing sheep and ponies and the scenic Spitalfields recall what Daniel Defoe described three hundred years ago.
