You're nicked you slaaaaag!
Well there wouldn't be halal supermarkets and butchers on the high street for starters.
It would probably look a street from a less multicultural city, like Norwich! Lol
TBF, the East End has always been a melting pot, from French Huguenot through Russian and Eastern European Jews, Caribbean blacks to East Asians. The first stop off from the London Docklands.
I worked there in the 80's and 90's, Limehouse Link and Canary Wharf, visited on and off in the late 70's to visit friends. It has changed significantly in places since then but not so much as it did in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Oh it's bigotry to state that east London has a large population of an Asian background? Facts are racist now??
My parents four bed semi detached Edwardian house in E11 (so not east end but further out) was about £42k in 1981. Their three bed 1930's semi before that in South London was about £7k in 1971.

The right to buy on my grandparents 2 bed flat on Roman Road was £11k in 1995. They had been in there since 1958. They never bought it. It’s worth over £400k today!
Going to try and build up Google Maps links to the locations today.

I could see you getting a volley for stating the unvarnished truth, you posted that a lot of the population of Whitechapel was S. Asian now, and it is, predominantly Bangladeshi, you have to a tad guarded when stating facts theses days, not everyone likes to hear facts, even less are willing to accept them.
Yes, it's before we opened the floodgates to the EU
Personally I find nothing wrong with Asian people, but I seriously doubt that many Asians
arrived as a result of citizens of the E.U. exercising their right to come to the U.K.

Blimey, you must be getting on a bit. I mean that in the nicest possible way but when the Beatles had their first hit, my mum was still on the rusks!My school was just up the road from the George. The teachers used to drink in there and as 6th formers we used to sneak into the snug for an illicit pint!
That would have been about the time the Beatles had their first hit
One side of my family moved there from Ireland around the time of WW2 - I think it was just before - the other side lived around Ilford - they moved out during the 50s to various parts of the West country and finally South West.
