your list tower of london buckingham palace and of course a ride on one of those famous red double decker buses but what about pounding the pavement off the beaten tourist track we got a tour recently of london's more alternative east end where fruit loops and street art are just two ways to start your day. london's east end is his hip as it gets if you can't find it here it doesn't exist take this cafe which sells only breakfast cereal the serial killer cafe in shoreditch offers more than one hundred different types of breakfast food from places as far away as israel south africa and the u.s. the idea was born after a boozy night out four years ago. we were both called the over we want to build a cereal we didn't know any where to get apart from the supermarket. and that's where the idea of this cereal come by the morning. a small bowl starts at two pounds sixty that's about three year old the ambiance is very british and reminds

you a little about child's bedroom. the retro aspect is quite cool. it's just interesting it's fun it's casual it's quite nice. it's a cool idea to be able to try different sorts of cornflakes from around the world. come. next it's time to get your heart fix and here that means graffiti art which you can find on just about every corner in the eastend. for guys like olivia calvert are there to help visitors find the best pieces by enough to hold the rope i am now roy is a belgian and he only paints wildlife on the radio like to do wildlife that is near the area so for example in mexico he did a cockroach and then ten way off famous photo animals unfortunately pigeons and

rocks and this is one of our. street art might be nice but it's still illegal here in shoreditch though that's already seem to turn a blind eye to graffiti attracts tourists in addition to pointing out the best places a libya likes to show off her favorites a particular image. could be painted over at any time it was a little difficult with the street top to be honest because we don't know what to expect i walk around this area all the time and it changes so i made. another surprising feature of her tours is that there is no fixed price people pay what they think is fair and what they can afford. and act as. we don't have a lot of money we're not we're not millionaires and we're probably never going to be. so it would be wrong for us to do that we're only accessible to people who are in a certain amount of money. last stop the ball pit
