Kornelusz Zaczek is his name.

More comings and goings at Victoria.

Recently I read a terrific book - "Rodinsky's Room" by Rachel Lichtenstein.

It's a wonderful insight into the Spitalfields area, the remains of the Jewish community who once lived there, and the imapct of other waves of immigration (Huguenots to Bangladesh, now Eastern Europe too) on the area. It's very movingly written as the author also journeys to Eastern Europe to find the remains of communities there.


I'd definitely recommend it, particularly to anyone watching the way East London is changing these days, to see how it was not so long ago.
