91-95 Brick Lane, The Old Truman Brewery.

Fire Alarm

The fire alarm does not sound like a fire alarm. It sounds like a very loud sine wave. You will die in the fire.

Nearest Al Fresco Dining

The Laughing Buddha in the big carpark. Tastes exactly like regular zhi char though. At £5, I was understandably disappointed. Perhaps I am disillusioned by asian-style dishes with emphasis on more vegetables. It just doesn't work that way. Where's the lard?

Nearest Convienience Store

The one nearest when you turn left from the Brick Lane Courtyard sells beers 19 pence more expensive than the regular 1 pound price. But what can we do?

Nearest Fried Chicken Shop of Reasonable Quality

All the construction workers and policemen know where its all at - Al-Badar Chicken & Kebab. Look for the blue sign. They put magic addictive flavour in their chicken. How do they do it? Even the fries are heavenly. Mmm if this is a heart attack, I like the taste of it.

Nearest Cash Machine & Bank

Whitechapel HSBC. For bank services, waiting time at lunch hour is at least one hour. Your prospects are dismal. Go home and keep your money in a shoebox.

Nearest Bagel Shop

There are two Bagel Shops on the end of Brick Lane closest to Bethnal Green. The one closer to Bethnal Green (with the white signboard) has tougher Bagels, and the one further from Bethnal Green (with the orange signboard) has softer Bagels and more variety. I favour the store with the orange signboard but if you go there, avoid the meat Samosas, as sometimes they have gristle in them. Oh lawdy gristle in food, what happened to this country's food standards.

Vibe Bar

The Vibe Bar smells funny. I do not like bars which smell funny.
