I headed out into London for an afternoon of shopping, deftly avoiding the high street altogether by combining visits to several markets in one area. Brick Lane, in the east end of London, is a street of curry houses, but it also has a vibrant market culture that I hadn't discovered until today. I passed this wizard selling mistletoe and dancing to the reggae beat of the market behind him, then almost ended up in a full-on club whilst trying to find a jumble sale. Hastily backing away from the dancing lads and lasses with their tinnies and funny-smelling cigarettes, I found the correct area of 93 Feet East where tables of jumble awaited rummaging to the very good tunes being spun by DJs on the stage. I had a great time! All items £1 for charity - a bargain.
Then I browsed the stalls in Upmarket followed by a wander in the Eco Christmas trade fair at Truman's Brewery. I, of course, had a look through the stalls at Spitalfields, but I preferred the Brick Lane atmosphere.
I came home bearing coconut cakes and several Christmas gifts. Success!

The nearby neighbors painted this over (not very successfully -it still shows through). They couldn't get why I shot this.
Bricks and a huge old rusted chain weathering out of the banks of the Carquinez Straight. Foundation of one of the buildings of the former Carquinez Brick Company, abandoned 1918. Former site of the town of Eckley.
One of my favourite bits of city art. I wouldn'T be surprised if someone had already posted her in GWIM at some point, but if so it was before my time...
Brick City? More like Brick Town. Although the moving small scale city of lego bricks is really well done, the price is too much (you'll find that's the case with other attractions on Clifton Hill as well), and they overeact about it in the front room too much. Still fun for kids though. Also, this location was a few years ago, an IMAX ride called the Adventure Dome. I miss it.
