E Pellicci is one of the oldest cafes in London. ‘Nev’ Pellicci’s family came from Tuscany and bought the cafe at the turn of the last century. The Kray brothers used to live around the corner. Nev’s father, who started serving them when they were children, said ” They were very respectful, charming. If my mother was behind the counter and someone swore they would ask him to show some respect”

Marcus Ross. publisher of Jocks and Nerds Magazine, took me there for a great lunch. The English breakfast and  bread and butter pudding made by Mrs Pellicci herself were just right.

And there is this clock at Bethnal Green Tube station (along with the CCTV)
