The changing demographics of the East End are visible here. High up on the building on the right is an advert that I can't quite completely decipher, but seems to be advising that the family grocers previously resident there used to have the largest sale of a certain brand of soap in the world. Their shop is now Hin Cheong's Chinese takeaway, while the building with the buff bricks is in use as a Somali community centre.
