Post or Ask something here in 'Brick Lane' ^ Brick Lane^ Brick Lane Brick LaneThe best thing about the area is the location, on the edge of zones 1 and 2 (London is divided in 6 zones, the greater the number the farther from downtown). Its about 5 minutes walking from Liverpool St station, which is a major transp. hub. The other good thing about the area is that the rents are still fairly affordable, mainly because most folks tend not to like having a council flat as neighbor or to live in one, altought that`s not big deal at all, the place is safe and the people around are quiet and orderly. You still have the proximity to Shoreditch / Hoxton, where lots of clubs and bars thrive, plus a fairly good stock of alternative shops. Mail-me Post reply -->London Brick Lane Ricardo 23 Dec ^ Brick Lane Dont do it...Hi Melanie, I would strongly not recommend living here, I work here and travel here everyday. it is definitely not the best are to live if you are moving here for the first time. Post reply -->London Brick Lane 17 Mar ^ Brick Lane Youll love it!Little restaurants (mainly indians), cafés, bars/clubs (good ones!), market (you'll find anything on sunday mornings), designer shops, Victoria Park (about 15m walk)... And you're not far from Columbia Rd, Hackney (I think you'd like the "Hackney City Farm" concept) and Shoreditch (with the famous Hoxton Square)... The whole thing is trendy and lively. To conclude, if you can live there, go for it!

 | ^ Brick Lane DONT BE SUCH A SQUARE! GO THERE!Its fine - any city especially capitals will have down sides to them. You play with fire, you might get burned, but I've always been a fan of fireworks!! Move there - a risk but so worth taking. Live a little or just stay where you are and dissappear. Post reply -->London Brick Lane 24 Mar ^ Brick Lane DONT IGNORE ME!!How can she ignore me when I have lived in that area for 39 years!! This is what annoys me people like them never see what I do just believe in what they read!! I have witnessed it and so have my children and that is the reason why I moved from a comfortable 4 stops on the train to 24!! Post reply -->London Brick Lane 29 Sep ^ Brick Laneliving life in bricklane is like living life in general, if you choose to focus on the negatives then thats what will cosume you, good things and bad things will happen eveywhere you go, but beware living life in london just means everything is more intense, so there is more evil, and enough good to balance it, make up your own mind and take a moment to think about the people that are telling you whats right& Mail-me Post reply -->London Brick Lane Ravi 29 Sep ^ Brick LaneBrick lane is both... its a mad hub of london sub-culture which gives you an amazing music scene that ive been addicted to since i moved here 6yrs ago... but its also wriggling with pimps and druggies... and its hard to avoid it... you can't be too green living near brick lane especially if you're not moving in with people you know who'll look out for you - london is a crazy place for anyone in the first year of living there but i guess that the chaos is applified if you're also from a different country. don't want to overstate it but i have to say since im also a 24yr old female that it is definitely a different for girls as well. live a bit further in (if you can afford to) or a bit further out -you can have easy access to brick lane life without being totally sucked in. when looking at flats try to take someone who knows the area with you and always go back at night to see what the walk to nearest tube station at night is like... hope you enjoy wherever you end up... good luck x Post reply -->London Brick Lane carrot 8 Dec ^ Brick Lanegreat advice in general.

Post reply -->London Brick Lane Marilyn Hyam 11 Apr Brick Lane Whats the name of that hair salon?There's a place near the Hackney Road end of Brick Lane, called by its number on the street, like 151 or 121 or something. Anyone remember it? Post reply -->London Brick Lane mick 17 Mar ^ Brick Lane 1001i think that's what you're referring to if it's the sort of club/bar type place with food being served outside. it's called 1001 and is right under that bridge over bricklane near 93 ft east. fun place. . . by the way, i love brick lane. no place is completely safe. as long as you have your wits about you and don't do things that would get you hurt in any situation, you should be fine. the little "gangs" that hang around the area seem pretty harmless if you go about your business. i've never had a problem and i'm 5'2 22 y/o female from the States.

Post reply -->London Brick Lane melanie.williams@catherington. 21 Feb Brick Lane Great Eastern BuildingsI am trying to find out more about these buildings. they were erected in the 19th century (between 1870 and 1890) by the Great Eastern Railway to rehouse people whose homes were demolished to make way for the construction of Liverpool Street Station and Bishopsgate Goods Depot. Dwellings were erected in or near Quaker Street E1, Winchester Street (which I believe is now the eastern part of Cheshire Street E2), and Fieldgate Street E1. Are any of these buildings still surviving, or have they been demolished, either due to wartime bombing or subsequent redevelopment? If you can help, or at least point me in the right direction, many thanks.

There was rumours in the late sixties that the buildings along the north side of Quaker Street are to be demolished for road widening leading to Old Street but it did'nt go through. Although some of the buildings were demolished to make way for new buildings. Post reply -->London Brick Lane joseph.attard@talk21.com 1 Sep |
