Chrisp Street Market, Poplar
The centrepiece of the 1950s Lansbury Estate is Chrisp Street Market, built as part of the Festival of Britain. The first pedestrianised shopping area in the UK, built to the designs of architect Frederick Gibberd.

Chrisp Street, fifties architecture
The 1951 redevelopment of Chrisp Street involved a then-innovative combination of shopping precinct and residential accommodation: so-called Living Architecture. This was all part of the Lansbury Estate experiment in social housing that paved the way for the New Town developments, see http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2001/jul/11/communities.urbandesign
(The sign on the lamp post warns that cars parked illegally may be clamped or towed away.)

Looking into Chrisp Street Market from the pedestrianised area leading to Kerbery Street
Looking east. Balfron Tower near the Blackwall Tunnel can be seen above and behind the market, and the clock tower (decorated with what look like inflatable tentacles) can be seen on the right.

View of Canary Wharf, flats off Chrisp Street and Kerbery Street and the "Chrisp Street Clocktopus" from Willis Street
Looking south-southwest. The name "Chrisp Street Clocktopus" is of my own coinage - I couldn't think of a better thing to call it whilst it was decorated with those inflatable tentacles!

Tropical veg at Chrisp Street market
Although the area has long been ethnically diverse, the old Cockney barrow boys would not have been able to offer this range of tropical greengrocery.
Nearest the camera here are yardlong beans (more like 18 inches in fact) which are popular in China and SE Asia. Behind are various types of gourds and snow peas.
