Whitecross Street

A typical London street corner at the top end of Whitecross Street, with layers of history and nationality.

Whitecross Street Market is one of the oldest in London at over 150 years old.  It was hard to walk up the street today with the crowds buying lunch at the street food stalls.

Starting at the bottom of the photo, the van is selling "home-made Thai food", the restaurant behind is Korean.

The blue plaque on the wall is not an English Heritage plaque but an English Hedonists plaque celebrating "Priss Fotheringham: the second best whore in the City 1660".

The striking street art by epod was painted during the Whitecross Street Party in the Summer..

And the wall at the top has an early 20th century "ghost sign" for a Salvation Army "Hostel for Working Men, Cheap Beds and Food" which is now the HQ of the charity Shelter.
