Brick Lane has become synonymous with a curry and the experience is truly special. The closest tube is Aldgate East on the District and Hammersmith & City Line and then it’s a short walk up Whitechal Road taking the first left on to Osborn Street that leads into Brick Lane. Or you can follow the sweet alluring smell of curry.
Initially it can be quite a daunting experience, as most restaurants have someone outside to entice you in with the promise of a free beer or 20% of your bill. But once you get pass that, the food is really good and you realize that you are in a hive of activity. There are not only restaurants along Brick Lane, but also Asian groceries, clothing and fabric shops, as well a few galleries. All in all it is an introduction to Ethnic culture in London.
