East London Locks
'I think Chatsworth, which everyone calls Chats, is a fantastic road. I have had an office here since 1998 and if I don’t come here, I get withdrawal symptoms.' Mike the owner grew up on the old Bethnal Green Road and works here with his son, Huseyin, whose mother is from Cyprus. I think the market would suit the area, which I have seen really improving. There are lots of new businesses setting up, like the toyshop, the bookshop, the deli and the funky juice bar.
