Banglatown Arch, Osborn Street and Middlesex Street Art Trail

Middlesex Street Art Trail

An Art Trail is being developed that will extend from Bishopsgate and Middlesex Street to Wentworth Street and Brick Lane to draw people in from the City. This will identify key local artworks and important historical and cultural locations such as the Petticoat Lane markets. Some elements of the Brick Lane enhancement project will become elements in the Art Trail.

Renaming of Osborn St

Through discussion with local people, the Council would like to re-name Osborn Street as Lower Brick Lane and we would welcome your views on this. This will help visitors navigate through the area as most people think of this short stretch of street as Brick Lane already. This will help strengthen Brick Lane’s connection to Whitechapel High Street and be much clearer for visitors on area maps.

The Arch

The existing arch is in poor structural condition and is in need of redecoration. One option would be to repair and redecorate the existing structure and reinstate lighting that no longer works.
