... and be greeted with a smile is lovely. This friendly gentleman was guarding the gate at 19 Princelet Street , an amazingly crooked and weathered Huguenot's silk weaver's House in Spitalfields, which contains a number of mysterious bedsits and a synagogue behind its unassuming facade! Open only a handful of times a year, as the building is too fragile for hoardes of visitors to stomp through.

We felt especially privileged to see this - and further funds are needed to preserve the house and make the upper floors (and those mysterious bedsits) accessible.
