Brick Lane, Restaurant district in East London, United Kingdom
Brick Lane extends through East London with numerous curry restaurants, vintage shops, and art galleries lining both sides of the street.
The street obtained its name from brick manufacturing activities that flourished in the area during the 15th century due to local clay deposits.
The neighborhood transformed from a Jewish quarter to a center of Bengali culture, with many restaurants serving traditional South Asian dishes.
Visitors can reach Brick Lane via Aldgate East and Liverpool Street Underground stations, with most markets operating on Sundays from 10am to 5pm.
The Brick Lane Mosque building changed from a Huguenot chapel to a synagogue before becoming an Islamic center in 1976.
