James Tucker in Cov

There was a while, after we discovered it, but before we got food poisoning there from a bad bagel, where we spent a fair bit of time in Whitechapel. The east end is being colonised as an arty/hip sort of place, and Whitechapel/Spitalfields/Brick Lane is the centre of that. This is Jack-the-Ripper territory.
That aside, it's a pretty interesting place. The whole area's history can be summed up by the fact that there's a building that started as a Huguenot Temple, was converted to a synagogue in the 19th Century, and is now a mosque. We visited another old townhouse that had had its backyard converted into a second local synagogue, which has been decaying for a while now. It's perfectly proportioned, and so seems much bigger than it really is inside. And from the outside, you'd never know it was any different from the other houses on Princelet Street.

I do plan on getting to more of the East End, the docklands and the rest, but this is an interesting place to start.
