The Clock House of the old Black Eagle Brewery, Brick Lane, 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.

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.

This statue stands alongside the Leamouth development, which stands on the filled-in site of the former East India Import Dock. Today a good deal of the UK's internet traffic passes through here.
This mural by Michael Barrett depicts some of the local buildings and people associated with the area - including the Kray Twins, General Booth (founder of the Salvation Army) and Captain Cook.
The open space of Meath Gardens, Bethnal Green, stands on the site of the former Victoria Park Cemetery. Opened in 1845, when it closed to burials 30 years later it contained around a quarter of a million bodies, such was the appalling death rate in the impoverished Bethnal Green of Victorian times. It was reopened as a public park in 1894.
The arch stands at the Usk Street entrance to Meath Gardens and originally supported the cemetery gates. It had fallen into disrepair and was in danger of being demolished, but fortunately this small but vital piece of East End history has been saved and restored.
Bethnal Green Nature Reserve in Middleton Street occupies part of the site of the former St Jude's Church, which was bombed in the Second Word War and never rebuilt. The land was gradually reclaimed by nature, especially after Tower Hamlets Council fenced it off in the 1970s.
During the 1990s the site came under the stewardship of the local Teesdale and Hollybush Tenants and Residents Association, which has been reponsible for setting up gardening projects on local estates. It has now been tidied up and is managed as a nature reserve. It is open to visitors during the day on Fridays and Saturdays.
