"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."
Walking along Great Eastern Street, it is clear to see this area's artistic past and present.

About Spitalfields
Spitalfields is a former parish in the borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London, near to Liverpool Street station and Brick Lane. The area straddles Commercial Street and is home to many markets, including the historic Old Spitalfields Market, founded in the 17th century, Sunday UpMarket, and the various other Brick Lane Markets on Brick Lane and Cheshire Street. Current 'urban regeneration' has also seen the erection of large modern office blocks, between Bishopsgate and Spitalfields Market. These represent, in effect, an expansion of the City of London, northwards, beyond its traditional bounds, into this area. However, a rear-guard action by conservationists has resulted in the preservation of Old Spitalfields Market and the provision of shopping, leisure amenities and a new plaza behind the city blocks.
