38 year-old Ivan Martinez takes us through an Elephant and Castle based Latin-American butcher shop, ‘La Fama’. The store offers a variety of meats and typical cuts as well as authentic Latin products. Martinez explains what brought him to London, and how he finds life and business here in Elephant and Castle as a local.
