Pop culture of east London #2: Spinnin' for 2012

London's saddest loss in recently memory has been Amy Winehouse.  Fortunately we were left with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield. She is still extremely young and obviously her career is ahead of her but my favorite thing about this video for the official London 2012 torch song "Spinnin' for 2012" is that it is actually east London.  Dionne Bromfield is from Tower Hamlets, Tinchy Stryder is from Bow, and the setting is Tower Bridge and the City of London with shots of Canary Wharf and the O2.



The iconic Tower Bridge is the gateway to east London, linking the north and south of the Thames.  If you are a fan you can get a smaller version from the Lego Store in Westfield Stratford City.
