Lunch in the East End, Spitalfields and Brick Lane, London - 1st December 2013

Isobel is out for a night in London, catching up with brother Noddy. Nosher and The Boys follow down the next day and meet up at New Spitalfields Market for some late lunch. On the way in, there's a chance to catch up with the latest in track-side graffiti. It's interesting following it over a several years, as there always seems to be just one dominant tagger at a time, and the current time's tagger seems to be "Runch".
