Stepney, London: I don't think I've ever walked through these particular back roads before, so I'm not 100% certain I'm heading in the right direction. The streets are lined with a random collection of high-density housing, from Victorian terraces to grim 70s tenement blocks, with only a few signs of flickering candlelight suggesting that anyone's at home. Several families are out packing boxes of essential belongings into the back of their cars and are attempting to exit the area by road. Over towards the railway viaduct a yard full of rubber tyres has been set alight. With no fire service to keep the blaze in check, I fear the other residents may have to consider evacuation themselves before the night's out.
