Hackney chitter-chatter &tc

I’ll have to give it a go as well. The guy who has taken it on is also owner of the Star of Bethnal Green which has been ok when I’ve been in there a few times. He also puts on a street party once a year.

I'll have to go and put my head round the door sometime to see what it looks like inside now in view of the parties I used to go to back in the day :D
I think it will be quite weird.
 
I should go there, I've been to it once and need to again (and again) .

I've only been in there a couple of times but I pass by alot when I walk down to the tube station.
I hope they do something with the interesting corner wedge shaped shop building now, it been empty for years, it has been tidied up inside fairly recently so maybe they were just waiting for the outcome of the hearing.

they did a crowd funder for child care centre, cultural centre and small business thingie but never reached the target. was only temp anyway.
tbh people keep having ideas for it and periodically tidy it up but never get to realise their vision for various reasons.

hopefully now that the building is not up for demolition anymore some long term plans can be made.
 
It's open now I'm sure :hmm: maybe not all the stalls inside but definitely those visable from the road.
the outside has always been open. iirc the indoors bit had to close for electrical safety reasons, not covid, but at the same time.

i used to hang out at the market quite a lot, but tbh it really needs doing up. towards the end it didn't smell nice in there, the floors were horrible, the place was run down.
i'm so pleased that now there is potential for it for proper renovation.
 
Yes, that would be great - do you know who the 'landlord' is?
i wonder what the (ex) vendors are planning. quite a few of them have taken over empty shops on the seven sisters road and seem to have spent a bit of money on making them nice.

apparently tfl will provide some money towards renovation.
 
I walked past there about 1030 at night a couple of weeks ago and there was some kind of rally going on with that weird religious group who wear Star Trek style robes and preach dubious stuff.

Only place I've ever seen them before is Brixton (where they were coming out with all kinds of black nationalist and homophobic bollocks).

Five new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods are being introduced in Stoke Newington in September including a new bus gate on Church Street.

Just reading about that , I used to drive up to Stokie a lot , but walk there more now (15 minutes or so) Mrs21 prefers us to drive up , but that has become more complicated with the LTNs. This will stop me driving there, which is the point of it.
