I have just been sent the petition to save Leila’s Shop.
I have loved Leila’s over a long period of time, but especially during and since COVID, when I properly discovered the pleasures of her shop: her cheese which comes from Neal’s Yard; her bread from E5; her apples which she sources herself; her deep knowledge of the food she serves and where it comes from.
There is a strong sense that she is at the heart of the local community and Tower Hamlets should be putting a preservation order on her, not evicting her.
Please sign.

I am surprised that we haven’t heard about this from The Gentle Author. Is Leila a member of the East End Trades Guild which is very active and was set up to help businesses threatened with such rent increases?
I think we will. The Gentle Author is certainly very aware of it and I hope will swing into action before long. He understands the local politics better than I do. Charles
