I'm a start-up founder, and live in Bethnal Green. It's a lovely place to live (in London).

Our office is just off of Brick Lane, and it's a short 15 minutes to work every morning :)

Bethnal Green isn't exactly a lovely place to live. It's saving grace is it's proximity to central London/Shoreditch, but there's nothing stand-out about it at all. It seems like no one respects it - every day I walk home from the station past at least 1 drunk/crackhead and rubbish all over the street.

No offence, but Bethnal Green looks like an ethnic ghetto. Is it getting better further to the south?
