'a pink Little Miss Princess mug (still filled with green tea leaves)', not just any old tea leaves, but green tea leaves, aspirational litter, fitting for a Princess.
I have a Winter Street, just down the road, if you'd like it for the set.
You can get inside Howdens if you wish. They opened a trade warehouse down my way and I needed a drawer insert (for cutlery). The lady there said that I couldn't buy one unless I opened an account. So, I opened an account and bought the product. I haven't had the need to go back since (around 7 years and counting).
It really must be an off the beaten track part of the borough if you didn’t see a pile of silver nitrous oxide canisters.
This writing is one of the reasons I come here every day.

Why on earth should I be interested in a street up north that I will probably never visit?

Because you make it interesting.

Thank you.
Autumn Street Update.

The litter that you mention scattered along its length has already gone, removed by myself at around about 8am this morning during my weekly litter pick of the area.

The yard on the right hand side which is currently home to B&B van hire and Falcon transport etc is due to be vacated next month and is to be replaced by a total of 40 shipping containers that will then open as a ground level self storage facility for local artists and residents to rent.

The small yard and building at the far end of Autumn street houses various different artist studios including a recording studio who specialize in grime music.

Autumn Yard at the far end of the street has thankfully now rid itself of the Bloc nightclub which ceased to trade in December 2019.

Unit 2a Autumn Yard has recently been fully fitted out as a beautiful licensed restaurant with an outside eating area overlooking the canal and is currently awaiting an opening date, it is owned by a very high end chain who already operate very successful restaurants called Moro and Morito in both Exmouth market and Hackney road.
Wholeheartedly agree the passive-aggressive notice! Well done Fishislandskin.

As a regular litter picker myself, 2020 has been outstandingly awful for dropped and dumped rubbish round my way. The most ironic being a leaflet among the discarded beer cans urging to keep our country (not countryside!) clean!
A most interesting post. Interesting so see that the LED street-lighting upgrade here entails new posts, not just retro-fitting the lanterns.

It does annoy me to see a capital "A" at start of "autumn", though. I'd be happier with "aUTUMN STREET".
Wot Chris said
I'd endorse Petras409's comment re. Howden's. Having had our kitchen originally fitted with their stuff by a professional, we needed some replacement bits a few years later to fit ourselves and they were surprisingly helpful.
This area is also a London 'lost' area name, not that it had much resonance beyond - Clay Hall. The name vanished completely (other than in memory) with the East Cross Route piledriven through it.

London Transport had a bus garage there, closed in 1959-ish when Bow Depot was converted from trolleybuses to buses, with room now to hold the routes operated by Clay Hall Garage.
The Howdens I've been in had a showroom. I bought through a builder, but they were perfectly happy to encourage people to browse.
