Brick Lane is worth a visit before it gets more heavily gentrified. It's a wonderful example of village London and a treasure that's rapidly being eroded.

<blockquote>
As its name suggests, Brick Lane gets its name from the local manafacture of bricks. By the early 18th Century it was a long well-paved street frequented by carts fetching bricks into Whitechapel from brick kilns.
