found that my area has lost its colour and life

I found that my area has lost its colour and life. As an attempt to modernise, deconstruct old buildings and space, it’s taken a part of my childhood which only memories can fill now. Like for example, the green grass that is now a parking area, like the mini parks dotted around that are now devoid of proper park equipment and children. But lucky for me, as bittersweet as it can be, I’ve grown up and had my childhood. So at least there’s still local shops I can rely on to go and buy my bread and milk when I need it or buy some unhealthy snacks as I’m coming home from work.

Transport

The distance between my house and the two underground train stations (Bow station and Mile End station) that are situated opposite, is about the same for me. It’s within walking distance so I find travel much convenient, especially the bus stops. There are night buses too so if I’m travelling late, it never poses a problem. In addition, the waiting times isn’t too bad for the buses at my local bus stop, about 2 to 5 minutes. However, when it’s rush hour, getting to where I need to go can be annoying, particularly travelling in the direction towards the city as I go to work. And since my location is close to the city, there is always extremely bad traffic around rush hour.

Community

In my area, I get a mixture of couples, families and renters living. I can’t remember the last time I ever encountered any anti-social behaviour. As the years have passed, you hear less children play outside. It’s become a rare thing and my neighbourhood is fairly quiet most of the time.

Amenities

If the subject of the conversation were both local and convenient, then my local Tesco would fit right in. It’s a grocery store that contains all the basic food necessities one can buy. If it’s baking, all the must-need ingredients are there at my disposal. If it’s snacking on a lazy day, watching Netflix, my favourite reeses packet never fails to satisfy my craving. If I’m on the go for work and in need of some food, worthy to fill a lunchtime appetite, then there are plenty of options to choose. But the issue with our local Tesco’s, is that it’s small and so it lacks variety and global fusion. So, if we’re looking for some essential spices for cooking or halal meat/chicken, our local ‘Bengali shop’ is the way to go, which is only a few steps away from Tesco. It’s like your combined butcher shop and Cash and Carry, which is most popular amongst the Asian community. I can say there are restaurants in our local area but I can’t fully call them restaurants where you can sit and dine and enjoy your time! Most of them are pretty much open for takeaway unless you decide to eat in the small crampt space provided and that’s for most restaurants: Subway, PFC, KFC. The most popular place is our Perfect Fried Chicken place. It doesn’t really come as a surprise because it’s a part of East London. You’d be surrounded by a lot of these restaurants so there’s no escaping the unhealthy, greasy chicken! There is always Starbucks, Costa and Co-operatives which all huddle in one area (under the yellow bridge in Mile End). These shops and restaurants are mostly occupied by students, university students from Queen Mary because of it’s close proximity to the campus. Opposite that, exhibits a line of some average restaurants to which you can sit, dine and enjoy your time! Nando’s as one of them, is extremely popular, attracting mostly young people for its affordable prices, overhyped chicken and along with it, it’s reputation.

There’s hardly every anything bad to say about the area you have lived in for the past 20 years

There’s not much else to say other than the fact that the area is animal friendly

Transport

The one very good benefit of Tower Hamlets specifically in transport we have busses that pass through and their end location heads right into the heart of London we also have travel links via train that take us to either main line stations or international ones too. Additionally half the busses take us directly in front of the tube station which means we are never late to work.

Community

The parking in the area is amazing lots of public parking available either for permit holders or for passer by. There’s hardly ever any traffic noises as there’s only one main called Bow Road

Amenities

The borough of tower hamlets has its ups and downs but places like bow and Mile End have more negatives. On the other hand the council has enchanted the area with a lot of security making sure every road has a active CCTV camera looking over the streets of tower hamlets keeping us all safe. The 20 years I have lived here I have seen the council evolve from being a dumb site turned into homes. There are plenty of local shops near enough every turn you make you’ll see either a off license or corner shop that has everything you need for your household shopping. The area doesn’t really have that many restaurants as it’s a borough populated with a load of families. Open spaces are one thing that Tower Hamlets council have made sure that the area has for example three mills park just off the A12, perdy park, Mile End park, Archibald park the bow commons and plenty more greenery spaces for everyone to enjoy, unfortunately due to the current pandemic we won’t be having a fun fair in the local park of ours as that could increase the death rate. There’s not much that’s missing in the local area as this borough is a very large area and has near enough everything inside it which means people do not need to travel a great to go and grab their essentials.

I kinda dislike that it may be abit boring sometimes

I mostly like the people around as they walk out with their pets and families. I kinda dislike that it may be abit boring sometimes

Transport

Sometimes busses and trains take a while but they arrive on time. Their is also traffic because of many cars. They’re some cyclists around aswell.

Community

Mostly families live in my area as it is quite old, bin collection is abit loud but always on time

Amenities

Some places are quite popular as people do visit from time to time. Shops are not too far away but theirs less restaurants and bars.
