THE HISTORY BUFF

Close to Liverpool Street station is Old Spitalfiel­ds Market, where a melting pot of immigrants – including French Huguenots, Irish people, Jewish settlers and Bengalis – has defined East End culture.

Today, Old Spitalfiel­ds Market is a regenerate­d neighbourh­ood of boutiques, cafes and pubs alongside the Anglican Christ Church on Commercial Street and restored Huguenot houses. Visit Brick Lane for the best curry houses and the Jewish bagel bakeries, followed by a pint in a traditiona­l London pub.

Those interested in the macabre should visit the Ten Bells pub – it was here that at least one of Jack the Ripper’s victims had their last drink (a nighttime Jack the Ripper tour around Spitalfiel­ds is a must). When you’ve finished exploring Spitalfiel­ds, nearby are the glitzy bars and clubs of trendy Shoreditch.

歷史愛好者

Old Spitalfiel­ds Market市集利街­鄰近 物浦火車,站 是各地移民的大熔爐,當中括法國基的 督新教胡格諾教徒、愛爾蘭人、猶太裔移民和孟加拉人,形成了獨特的倫敦東區­文化。

今天Old Spitalfiel­ds Market市集經過­重在建, Commercial Street街的聖公­會基督堂附近,以及經修復的胡格諾教­徒舊居一帶開, 設了不少精品店、咖啡廳與酒吧。紅磚巷有多家味道一流­的咖哩屋與猶太比高店,值得一試;吃飽之後,傳可到 統的倫敦酒館來一杯啤­酒。

如果你對毛骨悚然的事­物特別興感 趣的話,就一定要去Ten Bells酒吧了。1888年連環殺手開­膛手傑克的恐怖血案中,至有少一位受害人於遇­害前在這裡喝下生命中­最後酒一杯 。(切勿錯過遊覽Spit­alfields一帶­的開膛手傑克間晚 導賞之旅。)暢後遊過 ,可再到華麗酒吧與夜店­雲集的時尚潮區Sho­reditch逛逛。
