Credit: Robin Allison Davis Wandering the streets of East London, I marveled at my favorite neighborhood, trying food from as many stands as I could at Spitalfields Market. I admired the variety of cuisines, taking photos to reminisce on later. I had traveled solo to London, taking the Eurostar from Gare du Nord, only a 20-minute walk from my home near Pigalle in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.
