I moved here about 8-9 years ago and love it. View of St Paul's Church across the Basin with the red bascule bridges is a favourite spot.
I went to the Cockney Rebels: Popular Music in Tower Hamlets 1624-2003 exhibition recently, you and your book are featured in it. Are you aware of the exhibition?

Had lunch at Shadwell Basin, passing Dellow House on the way, and a pint on the River. Beautiful day for it!

My cultural references have always been a good 20 years behind .... and now I have entered my 40s they have become increasingly behind my times and obscure to boot - I have even become irrelevant in a pub quiz situation whereas I used to be the secret weapon!

Fair play to the few hardy Market stallers setting up in those winds today!
