Conclusion

TEXT

This concludes our tour of Brick Lane.  I hope that this tour has provided an insight to the area’s rich cultural, artistic, and historical backgrounds.  This is an area that truly has something for everyone.  Whether you are an immigrant, an up and coming artist, or a tourist looking for a good deal, Brick Lane can accommodate almost any need.  The transformation that has occurred over the last 400 years has all shaped the Brick Lane you see today.  Pieces of its rich history are showcased on nearly every corner of this extraordinary street.  The face of Brick Lane has gone through many dramatic changes over the years largely due to the numerous immigrant groups that have called this area home.  This notion still holds true today with the wave of Bengali immigrants, but Brick Lane is also shaped by the wave of youth and street culture as well.  Alongside the curry restaurants, the establishment of art galleries and the graffiti scene has helped attract tourists from all over the world to experience Brick Lane.  Thank you for listening.
