The Streetview series canvasses opinions on the UK elections from constituents in different boroughs across London.


In the first of this four part series, we went to Billingsgate Market, the UK's largest inland fish market.


Situated in the Limehouse and Poplar constituency in East London, Jim Fitzpatrick from the Labour Party has held the seat since May 1997 - but faces a stern test at this election from George Galloway of Respect, and the Conservatives' Tim Archer.


On a chilly Wednesday morning at the market, we asked traders for their views on the parties, the candidates and their voting plans in this year's elections.
