If you visit Spitalfields, it would be a good idea to see the amazing contrasts in East End. The old houses has been used for poor refugees for years.

    Spitalfields starts at Liverpool Street Station, which has been changed back to its original Victorian style. If you turn left from Artillery Lane, you'll reach Brushfield Street. Since the 1680's Brushfield had a market with fruit and flowers, but in 1991 the market was moved to the suburb, Leyton in East London.

    There a plans about making Spitalfields market to "Covent Garden of the East", but there ain't the right buildings and style here yet. Until now the square is used for a market of art and food, plus a Sunday-market. In a couple of years, Christ Church on the squares eastside, will probably be centre of "Covent Garden of the East".

    Brick Lane is centre for a lot of people from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. You can see that from the shops with exotic fruit and parti-coloured substance, and all the small restaurants, where you can buy some of the cheapest curry-meals in London.

    On modern language, Jack the Ripper would have been called a serial killer - a wholesale is a person, who kills a he's victims. Jack the Ripper murdered six of his victims in a period of eight weeks. The first maltreated body was found August, 7^th 1888 in Gunthorpe Street by a unskilled labourer from Spitalfields. On a window in Jack the Ripper Pub in Commercial Street, not far from Christ Church, is written all the names of Jack's victims. It never succeeded to caught the murder, and London's police chief had to retire. But at the same time the murders made a growing interest of crimes, and that's one of the reasons why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1891 published his first Sherlock Holmes bock.
