Places to go

	Broadway Market E8	On 8th of May 2004 a 'Farmers' Market' was launched on Saturdays which has since become firmly established. Broadway Market is closed to traffic when the market is being held (9am - 5pm). Thanks largely to the market a number of new restaurants and boutiques have opened in the area. Broadway Market is a street running from London Fields to the Regent's Canal in Haggerston in the London Borough of Hackney, East London.
	Spitalfields Brushfield Street, Spitalfields, London E1	Old Spitalfields Market, or simply 'Spitalfields' as it is fondly known, is the world-famous East London destination. Home to a flourishing creative community, Spitalfields has over the last 14 years secured a place at the forefront of interiors, fashion, the arts and food.
	Brick Lane London	Winding through fields, the street was formerly Whitechapel Lane, but derives its current name from former brick and tile manufacture, using the local brick earth deposits, that began in the 15th century. By the 17th century, the street was being built up from the south. Successive waves of immigration began with Huguenot refugees spreading from Spitalfields, where the master weavers were based, in the 17th century. They were followed by Irish weavers, Ashkenazi Jews and, in the last century, Bangladeshis.
	V&A Museum of Childhood Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 9PA	1974 that the then Director of the V&A, Sir Roy Strong, made the decision that the Museum would officially be dedicated to the subject of childhood.

The Museum and its collections have continued to evolve, and in 2003, the Museum secured funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund for a major redevelopment to improve facilities and displays
