BBC says, MPs test out Hackney after dark
This shop counter looks remarkably familiar:

I can’t believe a bunch of posey politicians can go to the solidly middle class enclave that is Stoke Newington Church St and pretend they’ve braved the wilds of Hackney! The worst that could happen is that their latte accidentally has non-organic milk or they are hit in the ankles by a £1000 pram.
They should have some guts and walk down ‘Murder Mile’ on their own – nothing will happen, but at least they will have really proved the point.
