Plans to build a multi-million pound "fashion hub" in east London have been approved by Hackney Council.
It is hoped the Hackney Fashion Hub will bring in thousands more shoppers and help boost the local economy.
The plans are a joint venture between Chatham Works Limited and the Manhattan Loft Corporation, which restored the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel.
Two seven storey buildings will replace temporary structures currently housing a number of fashion brands.

No.
That looks suitable ugly - will it pull down the old chapel building?
(and an old pub and Victorian housing?) Hackney doesn't like it's old buildings!

Rio Cinema is going to close down if it doesn’t find some money

If you’ve ever been to Rio Cinema on Kingsland High Street you’ll know it’s vastly superior to somewhere like Vue for a whole host of reasons.
They sell you booze to drink while you’re in there, it has a proper old skool art deco interior with an auditorium on two levels and it does a bargain Sunday matinee.
All of which means it would be nothing short of a disaster if it had to close down. But that’s what’s going to happen if it doesn’t find some cash.

it used to be an adult cinema
There's not much difference in the ticket prices -- in fact most tickets are cheaper at the Rio -- and if people don't use it, it will close no matter how sad people would be about it. (I'm a member of both and go to the Rio if the film I want to see is on at both.)
Utterly depressing.

went to a new cafe on Sunday near the Lea Bridge Roundabout - lower Clapton side - Cave of Plunder - a cafe with a gift shop - which appeared to be novelty items such as washing up brushes shaped like Elvis 
owner was very nice - hope it does well. Maeve's Kitchen has also opened up a few doors away - haven't been there yet

Really can't see it lasting. Who does that kind of shopping round here?

Thing is, it's not particularly classy stuff - not even in a knowing, cheesy way. One or two things of interest, but really the kind of shop you'd find in the commercial, tourist-trap corners of Camden. Weird.
eta: writing that, I imagined the owners going 'Let's open a shop in that there London - but lets be smart and choose the next up-and-coming area'. I make them too far ahead of the curve for their own good. But we'll see.

Oh right. I walked past that last night. It looked like a hipster cafe with lots of slogans about orgasms.
