new cafe on Chatsworth Road - Cakey Muto - gentrification continues - it has a license too, no pubs on that road which is strange - it's a 50s retro place - nice coffee though - slightly hoxton cuntish though- woman serving was talking to a Hoxton cunt mate - she is also a DJ - 
and new pub, the Clapton Hart, near the Lea Bridge Roundabout opens on Thursday night, I will be popping down to have a look and a pint or two.

Let us know about that one, I have friends on Clapton Road but very few good reasons to go and visit them

Rumours of Starbucks coming to Broadway Market doing the rounds on FB et al, which has a certain air of inevitability about it. Also just found out that all the lovely old cobbles have been replaced with tarmac during the recent facelift - wtf?

just back from the Clapton Hart - looks great - about 6 ales on - the place isn't finished yet - they have just opened the front - which is enormous tbf - there's still the garden (which is enormous apparently) and other rooms at the back - it could well become my new local.

there's already two starbucks in the borough, one in the dalston c.l.r. james library and the other right on the southernmost edge of shoreditch near the flying horse.Rumours of Starbucks coming to Broadway Market doing the rounds on FB et al, which has a certain air of inevitability about it.

bad times
The Clapton Hart was absolutely rammed last night - clearly a demand for a pub that sells real ale in the area- the place isn't finished yet - no food on yet but I think there are plans to have a restaurant area at the back and open up the huge garden, so should be good for a summer drink.

it's closer for me - only a 5 minute walk - Pembury takes about 15 minutes or so

I've got contacts inside the Hackney traveller community (Polish and UK strands) - who've told me traveller life is all washed up because the only option on offer in the UK now is forced settlement and discrimination. Polish mate (she advocates for travellers, sets up community art programmes offering low-wage employment and something to do during the day besides watch tv or beg, translates for incomers etc) is a lot franker than that i.e. the best option is to take advantage while keeping out of the hands of the law. e2a - or what she does - compromise, unhappily but legitimately for personal reasons associated with past experiences back home.
I sometimes wonder why settled citizens even bother to consider whether they can/should be involved with with the travelller community, when the basic things required - protected routes of passage instead of sites, trade i.e. value seen in what skills are on offer instead of 'civil behaviour' etc - is so manifestly withheld. Funny to think the Stokey liberals have them and hate them... Travelling lifestyle couldn't be less liberal in lots of ways, and liberalism so easily ignores the conditions necessary to the kind of freedom its values depend on. Liberalism exploits personal freedom at a negotiated cost to others, with that negotiation notionally placed in the hands of government. Most traveller culture (ime) regards western liberalism as unworkable, naive, self-indulgent, cruel and pathetic.

Olympic parking details - if you live in a street without parking restrictions - check here - there will be parking restrictions from 21st June to 9th September 8am-9pm - Monday to Sunday. I checked and they already have my details
so I don't need an actual permit , you can also register for visitor permits as well

What's the latest on The Clapton Hart? Is it finished yet? Beer garden a good place if you've got a friend with a small child?
Whilst I no longer live in Clapton (moved further out to Leyton), it's still a place where other folk I know reside so thinking of checking it out at some point. Cheers!

I was in there last week, I don't think the garden is open yet, and food is not being served yet - but will be soon - once the garden is open (I think the garden area is huge) it should be a good place to come with kids (although selfishly I hope it isn't over-run with kids
)

Well, I agree with your there as well. A few friends have recently become parents and it's nice to have the option; sometimes pubs that are child-friendly can become psuedo-creches, like The Cuckfield in Wansteadonce the garden is open (I think the garden area is huge) it should be a good place to come with kids (although selfishly I hope it isn't over-run with kids
unless you get there early to get a table, it's suddenly chocka with prams for parents looking to get out the house for a tasty Sunday roast!
