when i first started working in the area the truman brewery was still closed/empty and the only places to go of an evening were the comedy club and 2 pubs, food was brought from the cafe opposite the comedy club or from a kebab shop there was nothing else there apart from the rag trade, shoe/handbag wholesalers and suit warehouse called uomo dolemeti (sp?) commercial road was dodgy as fuck, not somewhere you went late at night unless you were a truck driver on a sex detour from dover to the a1.

i guess you werent working there in the 1960s... but have you seen those don mccullin photos of east london? obviously it has changed and look nothing like those photos, but i think out of all of london it is the slowest changing part, and you can still see a little similarity.
