Really enjoy hearing about things like this. There are so many historical layers in a place like London. It's amazing such things survive amid so much change.

Such a great article - thank you! “It’s remarkable in 2026, how little has changed from 1912.” This is one of the (many) reasons London is so fascinating :)

I really enjoyed this, having visited this restaurant. Thank you for the ai reconstruction too, nice to have a positive impact from ai for a change, I'd encourage to do more!

Thanks. I’m never sure about AI history. By the end the street is accurate but a made-up little girl has walked into the street!

Fascinating. Do you know The Gentle Author, who publishes a great deal of information and pictures on Spitalfields?

Yes I do. He published the photos from the Bishopsgate Institute which started this obsession!

You’ve reminded me. I must go back to the Bishopsgate Institute
