Why I Love Whitecross Street

by Krista

124_2454_5 I love Whitecross Street. And I love it even more today because they’ve started their very own food market. The same folks behind Borough Market are trying to revolutionize Whitecross Street. I can’t wait. OK, this means gentrification and that means my rent will go up, but I’m happy for the little guy. I can’t really explain what it is about this very not exciting gritty street that I find so very appealing. But there’s something to it.

Anyhow, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, there’s a little food market going on on Whitecross Street. As it’s conveniently located close to Cammy Nails–my every-other-Saturday-destination, now in its new fancy location–I wandered by. It was lovely. And heck, for like the first time ever, I actually brought my camera with me. See, I’m not so bad, am I? I get it from my dad; he did a lot of crime scenes in his day.

Unfortunately, it’s “the little guy” that will suffer due to gentification of the St Luke’s area! The area is one of the few genuine working class communities clinging on in Central London, but developments like that in Whitecross Street and the council’s moves to rehouse people further from the centre will change the demographics of the area. Not sure whether these things are just inevitable, but certainly they are very real.
