That's me just back from a fantastic trip to London.
My friend and I spent three days traipsing round the capital and I explored Whitechapel for the very first time.
The Edgar's Guide was invaluable.
It took a few minutes to work out which exit from Aldgate East underground station we were meant to be starting from (the one on the opposite side of the street to the Whitechapel Art Gallery as it turns out!), but once we'd established that, it was plain sailing.
Having never visited before, but been aware of other posters lamenting how much the area had changed, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by how much still remained and the numerous alleys and snicketways which still retained some atmosphere.
Huge thanks to mpriestnall and George from the WS who met us after the walk for pints, burgers and fascinating ripper chat and theorising.
The hospitality was much appreciated.
Now, if I can remember how to do this, I'm going to post some pics (even though it's all been seen before!!).....
