London, UK. 3 March 2016. A new hotel, "hub" by Premier Inn, opens on Brick Lane. The 189-room budget hotel stands opposite the Jamme Masjid mosque and on the site of the now demolished BanglaCity supermarket. Critics have stated that the new hotel adds to the argument that the area is becoming sanitised by big brands as it becomes further gentrified. Credit: Stephen Chung / Alamy Live News
