Robin Hood Gardens, Poplar, London E14
Alison and Peter Smithson, completed 1972
"I believe Robin Hood Gardens to be the most significant building ompleted by my parents…. They were particularly proud of the complexity that arises from the disposition of different flat types, the massing, composition and proportion of the blocks."
Simon Smithson, Director Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, and son of Alison and Peter Smithson
The new cycle and pedestrian shared path linking Viaduct Street and Derbyshire Street, Bethnal Green, is now open. The spare land has been turfed over.
This pub on Bethnal Green Road, close to the junction of Brick Lane, has been unoccupied for a number of years but is being refurbished and brought back into use.
Forget any notion of the revival of an old-school East End boozer though, this is going to be a gastropub and is very definitely aimed at the Shoreditch hipster market. Think polenta cakes rather than pasty'n'chips.
Truman's pub at the corner of Hanbury Street and Commercial Street, Spitalfields, London E1.
Joseph Truman started brewing in nearby Brick Lane in 1683. The brewery grew over the years and had buildings on both sides of Brick Lane. Expansion continued into the 20th Century, but brewing ceased in the 1980s.
Pelican Passage, just off Cambridge Heath Road. The marker is dated 1863 and is inscribed "St. M B G", which probably refers to St Matthew's Bethnal Green.
Mile End Old Town, London E1.
The storm which swept across Southern Britain during the morning of Monday 28th October 2013 did very little damage in Bethnal Green, probably because it was shielded from the direct winds from the South-West by the tall buildings of the City of London.
Apart from bringing down a lot of leaves (as you would expect any high winds at the end of October to do), this fallen branch was the sum total of the storm damage in Ainsley Gardens!
Brick Lane, Spitalfields, London E1.
Joseph Truman started brewing in Brick Lane in 1683. The brewery grew over the years and had buildings on both sides of Brick Lane. Expansion continued into the 20th Century, but brewing ceased in the 1980s and the buildings have now been put to a variety of uses including a conference centre, restaurants and bars.

Pedley Street (just off Brick Lane), Spitalfields, London E1. January 2012.
This years winner of the Triumph Pavilion competition. An international architectural design competition, the brief is to create a temporary interactive space where people can sit and walk through. It will be on display in Museum Gardens, Bethnal Green, during the month of June.
A new cycleway is being built to link Viaduct Place with Derbyshire Street, around the back of Oxford House, which will allow cyclists to bypass a busy stretch of Bethnal Green Road. This view taken on 20th February shows the state of progress so far. The work includes footpath improvements and a new pedestrian entrance into Weavers Fields.
Although the shortest day in terms of daylight hours falls around 21st December, a quirk in the earth's rotation around the sun means that the earliest nightfall in London is around the 11th or 12th December. This is the Shoreditch end of Bethnal Green Road looking West at 4pm on Sunday 11th December.
The poppies at the Tower of London are an evolving art installation "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red", to mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.
The first poppies were installed in the moat at the Tower on 5th August 2014 - 100 years to the day since Britain declared war on Germany - and the last will be installed on 11th November, the anniversary of the Armistice in 1918 which brought an end to the fighting. A total of 888,246 ceramic poppies will be laid, each on signifying a British military fatality during the War.
After 11th November the poppies will be removed and sold off to raise money for six charities which support serving and former services personnel, and their families.

Ravenscroft Street (off Columbia Row), Bethnal Green.
Our neighbours Andrew and Tsy have set up a 'pop-up' coffee and cake stall every Sunday inside 'Organics', a gardening shop. Andrew bakes the cakes and muffins himself and they are to die for - in particular, the savoury muffins are not to be missed!
The stall was supposed to run to the end of February, but looks like it will be around for a while yet, so ......
If you are visiting the Flower Market on a Sunday, do pop in, have a coffee (or tea) and a muffin or a slice of cake - and tell them I sent you!
