Brick Lane in East London: Beigel Bake, Market, and Free Range

😀Yummy Bagel and vintage market  

This yummy Bagel store is located in the East End of London. Time Out London magazine gives its freshly baked filled bagels three stars. 

However, I bet that it wins over the local’s heart more than three for these reasons:

First, Beigel Bake is 24-hour open in Brick Lane, which discontinuously serves everyone with hot bread pulled fresh from the ovens; therefore, this day and night service make the city life more convenient that clubbers and taxi drivers can enjoy hot food during the night. Second, value-for-money is extra important in London as its living cost tends to be more expensive than that in other cities, and thank God! Beigel Bake offers street food vibes and affordable snacks, not to mention, the bagel’s pleasant taste per se.

So what do locals recommend and love most among all the filled bagels? Most say they indulge in the Jewish salt beef, the classic smoked salmon and cream cheese. I have tried, and the bread is so soft, the filling is really savoury; however, I was starting to feel a bit thirsty after eating.

Except for yummy bagels, this area is full of art and cultural fun to explore. I then come down the way to duck into nearby Old Spitalfields Market to find a drink for yourself and stroll around the market booths to search some vintage pieces of stuff.

🎠Street art and Free Range art exhibition 

In London, Brick Lane is one of the best streets to see Graffiti. I live in Brighton before, where is also featured by its street Graffiti. But the theme and style of graffiti art in Brick Lane seems to be more vibrant, wild, and exotic.

The street art is bursting with visual images and creative ideas. You can feel that art is all around you from street wall-paintings to restaurants’ interior decorations.

In particular, the art showcase called Free Range at the Old Truman Brewery is another highlight in Brick Lane, which is open to the public to display undergraduate or graduate talent art masterpieces.

I am particularly interested in some artworks and part of creators and designers are on-site to provide introduction their original inspirations, so I got a chance to understand the motif of the art.

By the way, they also offer visitors free soft drinks, making this indoor space a better place to enjoy art and cool air in summer.

(一) 貝果烘烤店

這家美味的Bagel商店位於倫敦東區。 “Time Out London”雜誌為其新鮮出爐的貝果評等3顆星，但我敢說這家店嬴得當地人的心超過3星等級,因為以下理由：

首先，Beigel Bake在Brick Lane開放24小時營業，不間斷地為所有人提供從烤箱中取出的新鮮麵包;因此，這種日夜服務使城市生活更加便利，泡club的人和計程司機就可以在夜間享用熱食。其次，在倫敦，物有所值是非常重要的，因為它的生活成本往往比其他城市更貴; 感謝上帝！ Beigel Bake餐廳提供街頭美食和價格實惠的小吃，更不用說貝果本身的美味。

那麼當地人在所有填餡的貝果中推薦和最愛的是什麼呢？大多數人說他們愛吃猶太式鹽牛肉，以及經典的煙熏鮭魚和奶油芝士口味。我都試了，麵包很軟，餡料真的可口的; 但吃完後我開始感到有點口渴。

除了美味的貝果外，這個區域充滿了探索的藝術和文化樂趣，然後,我來到附近的Old Spitalfields市場，為自己找飲料喝，並在市場攤位周圍漫步，尋找一些復古的東西。

(二) 街頭藝術和自由空間藝術展

在倫敦，布里克巷是看塗鴉的最佳街道之一。 2016年，我住在布萊頓，它也是以街道塗鴉為特色。 但布里克巷的塗鴉藝術主題和風格似乎更具活力，野性和異域風情。

街頭藝術充滿了視覺形象和創意。 從街道壁畫到餐廳的室內裝飾，您可以感受到藝術在您身邊。

特別是，舊杜魯門啤酒廠的自由空間藝術展示是布里克巷的另一個亮點，它是向公眾開放的，展示本科或研究生人才藝術傑作。

我對一些藝術品特別感興趣，有些部分創作者和設計師在現場介紹他們的原創靈感，所以我有機會了解藝術的主題。 順道一提，他們還為遊客提供免費飲料，使得這個室內空間成為夏天享受藝術和涼爽空氣的好地方。
