Op01083

Thanks to reader ‘olde spitalfieldsr’ for directing us to this pic of the site where our office now stands, on the corner of Hanbury Street and Wilkes Street. It’s a terrible shame that there aren’t more remaining examples of the beautiful old houses on Wilkes Street. But, looking on the bright side, the big hole in this picture is now home to Wieden + Kennedy.

The pic comes from English Heritage.

A view south of junction with Hanbury Street. The end of the terrace has been demolished.
