When I was walking home this morning there was a chunk of the Lower Clapton Road closed off, not far from the Lea Bridge Roundabout.

Looked like the police had just finished doing their stuff as there was a very mangled car that had run into a tree being loaded on to a towing lorry and also a mortuary van :(

shit, that is just the other side of the roundabout from me :(
 
I mean the sorta chunk between "Clapton Village" (arf!) and Lea Bridge Roundabout.

I was walking back from Hackney towards Manor 'ouse, iyswim?
 
Voodoo shop in Hackney?

Does anyone know whether there's a voodoo shop (candles, washes, sprays etc) in Hackney? I know there's one in Brixton (too far away for me) and there used to be one at Dalston, but somone told me it has long closed down...
 
i'm not sure if the shop on the junction is still there. they've shut quite a few places cos of the bastard tube station being built :mad:

you can probably still find that kind of thing somewhere up ridley road market.

Yes, I think there is one on Stoke Newington High Street/ Road - not quite sure where I saw it - think it might be in the stretch between Shacklewell Lane and Evering Road but on the other side of the road (iyswim!). When I am next that way I will have a look and let you know for definite.

According to the hackney gazette website,the ship aground pub on Lea bridge rd has been closed by the police, due to wrong un activity there,the pub is being sold. Only been in it a couple of times, seemed a bit empty tbh. It's probably going to be Converted for housing.

i threw a bog roll at the disgusting 'paedo' landlord's face last time i was in there.
 
Can anoyone recommend me a decent pub
to sit in for an hour or two on a wet Wednesday afternoon
in the Hackney Central/Lower Capton area?
I have been out of Hackney for over three years, much has changed i hear.
i am meeting friends in the early evening but will be arriving early. Cheers

Hello!

Go to the Pembury, it's quite nice in there now, they do food also. The kind of place people go into read a book, play scrabble etc... not the cheapest but it's large and airy, no chinz etc.


Hope you are well. :)
 
:)Cheers. I am well thanks, hope all is well with you.
The Pembury sounds a lot better than i remember it.
I think i'll pop my head in there for an hour :)
 
The pembury is a lot better than it was, if you are back for a while, there is a urban drink in there on 25 feb .

Not been in there for years but last time I looked there was one on Stoke Newington High Street/Kingsland Road on the West Side near the cop shop / white hart etc.

Lots of candles and odd incense and stuff but not so much overt voodoo biz. Definitely a whiff of it though.

Yes, that sounds the same as the shop I mentioned in my post - sure it's still there, will check when I'm in that area.

Off the top of my head:

Pages of Hackney (that's down your way, right?)

Stoke Newington Books

Food For All (hippy health food on Cazenove Rd N16)

Centreprise

Or PM me your address and I will send both issues forthwith! :cool:
