goodSeen the police pulling a lot of cyclists for jumping red lights on Kingsland Rd south of Dalston Junction. They seem to be having a crackdown. Be careful out there.
hope they pull a few of the twats who thinks it is cool to cycle about no-handed in the same area. wankahs.

Hi there,
If your wanting to use the swimming pools then definately try out Clissold Leisure Centre in N16, pool is clean, staff are pretty helpful, changing rooms are alweays clean & tidy and far better than Hackney Baths aka Kings Hall, Lower Clapton Road, E5.

Ooh, that's not actually very far. But like the proverbial ghost, I don't got no body to go with

One on one? You're crazy.
Sunday Chatsworth Road market today - first of a trial of monthly markets to see if they can be a permanent thing - I was down there at about 12, loads of people. Not a lot of stalls tbh, all close to the gentrified section - the Deli, Venetias, The Creperie, Chatsworth Kitchen - traffic wasn't stopped, so it was a bit annoying with cars coming by - they should have blocked off a section. It might be a good thing in the future if more stalls are there, there was probably about 20 or so today.

They have called the cafe at the London Fields Lido 'Hoxton Beach' 
This annoys me because:
1. Locals have been calling London Fields 'the beach' for many years.
2. London Fields is NOT Hoxton.

I think Hoxton Beach is a company running cafes etc - the cafe at Clissold Park leisure centre is also called Hoxton Beach and that one was there before the one in London Fields....
I've never heard London Fields be referred to as the beach though - but I suppose it is a little bit beachy, other than the obvious lack of sand and sea.

Mostly harmless unless catering is shut.
I used to squat on Chatsworth road...well Brooksby Walk if you`re being pedantic...
The old style gents barbers was my favourite... hot towels and cut throat shave ...with hair cut thrown in....I used to look like a dishevilled squatter type on entry and would leave looking almost human!

I read that the people who run the Ritzy are taking over the Ocean in Mare Street and it will be a four screen cinema showing mainstream and Art house films - sounds good!
Glad that some use is going to be made of it at last and it will be good to have a cinema in Hackney - there's only the Rio (and Rich Mix which may technically be Tower Hamlets?)

Good news if true. Although the Rio will still be my fav cos it's 15 mins walk away. About time the Ocean was put back into use tho, will have to meander up Mare Street more often.

Was a concert venue for a (short while). Prior to that, it was squatted for a long while.

It opened with a big fanfare but was badly run (surprised, you won't be) and I don't even think it was open for more than 2 years or so iirc. My daughter did a school concert there a few years back and she moved out of London ~8 years ago, so that shows how long its been disused.

Great news about the new cinema in the Ocean building!

It was still used/rented out for functions and events etc until fairly recently, but all a bit ad hoc.

Must admit, as a venue, I never really liked it anyway. We went to see Grandmaster Flash & Furious 5 there once, after winning tickets from the Gazette, and even that felt a bit dull.

I know what you mean. I saw Lee Scratch Perry there...it was fantastic but the venue was a little cold and industrial.

Ocean used to be the old Central Library. The building to the left of it with the mural on the side wall was squatted a couple of times. Think it used to be owned by the Sally Army & is now a Weatherspoons

I only went to Ocean once, to a techno party that one of the London rigs put on (and lost money as not that many people went I believe). We were all amazed at how 'posh' it was in there - being used to warehouse places! It was a really nice space, shame it never took off.
