Background
Visiting
In her 2002 memoir Call the Midwife, Jennifer Worth gives an account of 1950s Stepney, describing poverty, condemned buildings, filth, and rampant prostitution. In the 1965 Rolling Stones song Play with Fire, it is said an heiress whose wealth has been carried off by her husband "gets her kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge anymore." Elton John refers to Stepney in the song "Bitter Fingers" which was written by Elton and Bernie Taupin. Folk noir duo Ruby Throat released a song called "Forget Me Nots of Stepney" on their 2012 album O' Doubt O' Stars. Mentioned in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels "Hand made in Italy, hand stolen in Stepney"
