What do you think of the petition by Brick Lane residents and shop and
restaurant owners to get Aldgate East renamed "Brick Lane" to boost the
area. Having lost Shoreditch station, they're getting a bit of a rum deal
at the moment.

Do they have much of a hope?


I'd have said Aldgate East being right on top of Brick Lane should be
the one renamed (if any).

Well they did rename Gillespie Road to please a load of footy fans,

Paid for, IIRC, by Arsenal Football Club.

so I reckon renaming Aldgate East to Brick Lane is ok,

Well, if the businesses petitioning want to pay the costs involved...
