Yesterday my friend and I went to do some thrifting on Brick Lane. I'm using the term thrifting extremely loosely because East-end vintage prices are getting a bit ridiculous, I think sometimes people forget that it really is just old clothes. I do want to try and start going to car boot sales and rummaging in charity shops a bit more but it's mostly a nice idea in theory, since all the good stuff in the London area gets snapped up by the vintage sellers. Vicious circle. We decided to stop for lunch in a kind of pop-up Pizzeria in the Truman Brewery we'd never eaten in before. One glance at the menu revealed that a pizza in this place cost £12. Is East London dying?
