Another in my occasional series documenting some of the underbelly of Britain. Britain which we wouldn’t like visitors to see and which we wish wasn’t there. The trash, abused, decaying, destitute and otherwise buggered parts of our environment. Those parts which symbolise the current economic malaise; parts which, were the country flourishing, wouldn’t be there, would be better cared for, or made less inconvenient.
This attractive emporium is in Commercial Street, in London’s East End. While the East End does contain some real gems it contains about a hundred times more absolutely decrepit squalor like this.
