I made my way back to Jane's place very late one cold cold London evening in January. As I approached her place, I was feeling very tired and a bit grim (hungry, too) after traveling for several hours. When I walked in the door, her lovely son popped his head into the entry way and asked if he could carry my bag upstairs -- which he did absolutely effortlessly and with great good spirit. In the room were all kinds of biscuits, tea bags, and treats. And under the covers was a hot water bottle, dressed in its best multi-colored knitted (by grandma, I think) coat. Now, I ask you, could anyone feel grim in these circumstances? I think you should stay at Jane's just to feel happy. However, you might also want to stay there because it is a stone's throw from Broadway Market (literally 5 minutes), the hippest place in East London. Try the bread at E5 (under London Fields overground) or the salad at La Bouche.
