Spitalfields, London: Brick Lane is not buzzing. Normally at this time on a Monday it'd be heaving, but not today. I've weaved my way through the backstreets of Spitalfields, to get here, and the whole place is unnervingly quiet. And I'm starving, so it's a bit annoying that nowhere selling food seems to be open. The smell of curry is not in the air. I swallowed a few (much needed) gulps of water earlier, from a drinking fountain opposite Spitalfields Market, but that's the best I've managed so far. All the Bangladeshi convenience stores around here seem to be firmly locked, with just a few sacks of onions piled up on the pavement outside. A fat lot of good that is, when what I really need is a takeaway.
