These metal discs in the pavement resemble coal hole covers but they are actually sculptures by Keith Bowler. A total of 25 of them, each one depicting a different aspect of the Spitalfields area, were installed in 2017. I'm not sure how many remain. So far, I've found four of them. This one is in Brick Lane near the old Truman Brewery. More here: londonist.com/london/secret/secret-london-have-you-spotted-these-historic-discs-round-spitalfields

33A Fournier Street. Georgian block, built 1725. Sign probably dates from around 1900, when this was primarily a Jewish community. Between Nos. 33 and 35 is a passageway which formerly led to Samuel Worrall's yard and dwelling house. Worrall was the master-carpenter for Nicholas Hawksmoor who built Christchurch, Spitalfields.

Ghostsign at the corner of Princelet Street and Brick Lane. Seems to have been two different signs -- one saying Lewis & Bernard's, and the other saying Men's Hosier and Hatter.

Social housing built where there once was one of the most squalid slums in London. With all the gentrification going on around here, it's good to see that there's still some mixed income housing in the area.
