Paradise lost
When it opened in 1985, the Paradise Cottage was no doubt Bethnal Green's premier meat and grease dispensary.
A charming fast food joint that refuses to modernise, it has an authentic 'retro' appearance and most of its original features are still intact.
They've never even changed the cooking oil.

Girl power
On a stroll through London's fashionable east end, you'll inevitably witness the odd '90s-inspired car crash.
But I'm sure you'll agree this is a work of art, even if some of the likenesses are better than others. Geri looks more like George Michael in a wig. I reckon the lady painted it herself.
I also think she ran out of beige before getting round to Sporty's face. Luckily, the pink made a great substitute.

What happens in London
Odd things happen in London every day. But even when nothing unusual is happening, there are quirky and unique things just waiting to be discovered on every intriguing inch of the map.
My name's Anthony Hill and I'm a writer. Since moving to London from Yorkshire in October, I've been noticing things you just wouldn't normally encounter anywhere else in England.
Concealed among the iconic landmarks, which people travel from far and wide to see, are a whole host of less important, strange - and sometimes hilarious - sights I can't help but stop and photograph.
In creating What happens in London, I feel I've created a place to share my world. Presented in digital ink and Polaroid, this is my view of the weirdest city on the planet.
