Hijab-shaped? Really Tower Hamlets council? Really?

And why does Brick Lane need branding anyway?

Lol, that was my first thought... I would love to see the design documents for it actually. XDDD Hijab-shaped, wtf.
While we're at it, we should totally add some Queen-shaped gates to both ends of the Tower Bridge.

What the fuck, this is a terrible idea. What would a hijab-shaped arch look like anyway? And what about the area's 70% non-Muslim population?

i can read, i swear

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too - arches shaped like a head covering? Something doesn't make sense here.

Brick Lanes boasts some of the best food I've ever tasted anywhere. I have nothing of value to add beyond generalized Brick Lane love.

What a bizarre and awful idea.

And an utter waste of money, especially considering the current economic climate.
