"The smallest piece of permanent art in London is at the junction of Philpot Lane and Eastcheap and displays two mice fighting over a piece of cheese. This sculpture remembers the story of two workmen working on the building's construction who fought over a lost piece of cheese, which led to the death of one of the men after falling from the structure."
The combination of historic and modern excites me..to the East is the delights of Brick Lane and to the West is the City...all based around Spitalfields cobbled market, where it seems you can buy anything...

In all corners of Shoreditch there's plenty of street art that really adds character to the area.
