This basement bar, part of the Brasserie Zédel complex, is equally wonderful whether you re treating it as a way-station en route to dinner, a nightcap-dispensary before heading home, or an evening s entertainment all in itself (with terrific bar snacks). It s also one of the loveliest bars in, with an art deco look that s changed little in decades of its existence (under various names). And just as lovely (and unchanging) is its approach to building a cocktail list: short, classic, no need to blind with science.

This multicultural area, a primer for trade unions, women s equality and the Labour party is no longer a melting pot of the poor but now trendy and expensive. Hear about the sinister tales of Jack the Ripper and the philanthropists that changed the face of the east-end, and the world. Visit a Mosque that has had a very long, multi-faith history and a school with a ghastly secret. Hear about a truly engrossing mystery involving a man s disappearance from a room locked from the outside, and the legacy left by the different waves of immigrants to this most fascinating part of the East End.

9 Page 9 of 13 "Hi my name is Pete and I m originally from Manchester. I moved to Brighton in 1997 and went to the University of Sussex where I got a degree in Psychology. I left for in 2005 as I found a well-paid job in advertising, and it seemed that I would have a career for the foreseeable future. When I started the job, I found that boss was an absolute tyrant and if I didn t shave every day (I hate shaving) then he would say that I looked like a tramp. I was regularly meeting my targets and he would still harass me about small things. Eventually I flipped and told him where to stick his job. I subsequently lost all my benefits as I left the job voluntarily and found myself in the street shortly after. I went looking for jobs but the lack of a good reference was a barrier. Since then I have been sleeping rough and squatting while working weekends on Brick Lane market, which I feel is my home and I would be delighted to show you around my neighborhood."
