ilive in bricklane. one of the hotspots. there are many clubs pubs restaruants concentrated in one area where there are also many residents. imagine living in a area full of drunks all the time, its worst during the weekends. Theres urine vomit broken glass bottles everywhere since 24/7 drinking law
