Spitalfields - The Come Back (non plussed)

Spitalfields - The Come Back (non plussed)

“New broom, this room, sweep it clean.”
Spitalfields has a fascinating history and a real visceral connection with Wear London.
The diminutive Gaffer’s whole family have been ensconced around the cobbled streets of this beautiful enclave for decades.

WEAR LONDON - A Little History...

WEAR LONDON - A Little History...

The concept of Wear London itself, is actually a few years old - three to be exact!  The brainchild of myself (Alex) and Matt.
