Rachel Lichtenstein is a writer, artist and archivist.[1]

In 1999 she wrote Rodinsky's Room with Iain Sinclair, and since then she has published Rodinsky's Whitechapel (1999) and On Brick Lane (2007).[2] This last will be joined by two other books, Hatton Garden and Portobello Road to form a trilogy on London street markets.

In 2003, she became the British Library's first Pearson Creative Research Fellow, producing a work entitled Add. 17469: A Little Dust Whispered – both as an installation within the Library, and a subsequent book.[1]

Ch.N.Katz was the last Jewish shop in Brick Lane, the story of this and other forgotten inhabitants of the area is told in Rodinsky's Room
