Pie, mash, liquor and eels….

“Eels, the most nutrimental food there is….”

Our second office was the first to be opened in Lovat Lane, mentioned at 5:12. Billingsgate fish market was stil very much trading, the lane and the street to the market glistening each morning with fish scales. I will be in the last generation of ‘City workers’ to remember it.

Likewise, Tubby Isaac’s was still there at Aldgate.. Sadly gone since 2013, replaced by a burger wagon.

Lovat Lane, a month or so ago, looking up the lane from near enough where the clip of film was shot.



The tall building in the background is the ‘Walkie Talkie’ building. That is very new.

It’s noticeable how a genuine East London accent is so much better than the faux yobbish ‘Estuary Essex’ accent.

We moved from EC1 out to Essex in the early nineties. There was a pie n mash shop on Barkingside High St that I used to frequent. Easy to keep a Paddy happy if he gets his spuds Good meal. Never tried jellied eels for some reason but I like roll mop herring so I might have manged them OK.
