There are parts of East London that are complete dumps, but that area is not really one of them. I mean, you have Brick Lane just round the corner, and even Commercial Rd. (which is becoming popular because it's still relatively cheap, central and vivible) is in fact ok and fairly near the river and more residential areas. I am glad that I moved away from Stepney, Mile End Rd. and that part of London because it is not a very nice place at all. I fear the same fate for The Foundry, but there is much more self-indulgence going on in that place that wouldn't make me miss it too much.
