I went for a fascinating wander around East Street the other day with a mate who lives in the area. We walked past what's left of Heygate Estate, and almost straight into a beautiful little park called Nursery Row with a wildflower meadow and multi coloured sticks in the ground and views out onto the Shard and the city. There we sat on the floor and watched oddball YouTube videos and talked about life as the drug dealers and dog walkers and cool kids and array of shady looking characters passed us by. Soon the sunset and we ended our short evening adventure in East Street market, one of my all time favourite markets of all time. It's worth a visit--- hell.
