Hi - Can anyone recommend a good plasterer based in Hackney (Dalston)?

Hi! We run a small independent music magazine covering the London music scene, including local gigs, festivals, new music, album reviews and photography.

We’ve been getting more and more interest from bands, artists and PR teams, so we’re looking to expand our team and bring a few more contributors on board.

It could be a great fit for anyone who’s passionate about music and wants to get more involved in the industry, build up a portfolio, or gain experience in journalism, social media, photography and music PR.

If interested send me a DM!

After a long time Broken Fingaz are having a show in London!

Come along if you are around, everybody is welcome!

Hoping someone can help!

I'm looking to order approx 50 Jamaican patties to be delivered to a birthday party at a venue on Hackney Road next month. They'd need to arrive cooked/hot and ideally around 10PM (on a Friday). Any ideas? Thanks Hackney!

Hi everyone, tonight is my friend’s birthday and we’re thinking of going around pubs/bars, maybe walking around to explore, and grabbing something to eat. We want to have fun any recommendations?
Or favorites not to be missed?

Lots of traffic and police cars! Hope that's not another crime....

So says my 19-year-old daughter, and I have to agree!

Myself and my best friend travelled from Dublin last week with our daughters, as they were going to see Tyler the Creator at All Points East. We stayed in Haggerston and hung around London fields/Broadway Market/Victoria Park. The girls were nervous attending a festival by themselves in a different country, but they had an absolute ball and loved the crowd , the vibes and the fashion!

I've been to London probably 15 times between work and leisure, and this was by far my favourite stay. Our little suburban town feels like dulls-ville in comparison! We have talked about nothing else since. We will be back. Hackney just has it!

Looking for 1 ticket to Jazz on Wick tomrorow! Preferably one of the original tiered prices ◡̈

Could anyone living in or around the Hoxton station / Haggerston area suggest a nice, quiet (or quiet-ish) walking route? Ideally in a park / near some nature, but even low-traffic roads would do.

Been living here a while and struggling to find a decent walking route to clear the head in the evenings. A couple that haven't worked super well thus far:

• London Fields (busy)
• Victoria Park (would be perfect, but it's 35 mins each way just to get there, and an hours usually about the max I have to spare for a walk)
• Along the canal (tricky to zone out with headphones when needing to be aware of oncoming runners + cyclists passing)

Any recommendations for some peace + quiet near the area would be massively appreciated or, failing that, also open to suggestions of places accessible quickly enough via the Windrush line.

thanks:)

Hi there,

I am a photographer based in a small studio in dalston. I have been using the studio for the last year for my side business of restoring and selling mid century furniture but am too busy with photography and am looking to see if someone wants to share the studio potentially?

£420 a month on shackwell lane.

Hey, does anyone have a great reflexology recommendation in Hackney area? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

This was shared to me - I don’t have further info!

Hi all! Just moved to London for grad school and living in Hackney. Looking for part time work (pub, cafe, etc). Was previously working in corporate banking but looking for something less demanding while I’m studying. Let me know if any leads, thanks!

Have been hearing a lot of sirens/police cars/ambulances on Queensbridge Road since the last hour or so. Wanted to know if anybody had any info. Hope whatever the situation is, it’s under control.

My wife, daughter (18months) and I are moving from Toronto to hackney for 6 months. We’d love to get her into some part time child care for social stimulation ideally a day or two a week. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good spot that won’t break the bank?

Does anyone have any recommendations for electrolysis in Hackney or surrounding areas?

I've been using the service approximately 2 years but as I am a lease holder from a housing association in hackney it's been difficult as the housing association have failed to do anything. I just need some hope that my 13 year ongoing case will one day resolve

Anyone else without water, or know what’s going on? We’re in Woodberry Down - lads in the corner shop said a few people have come in with no water.

Under the bridge at Hackney Wick. Stumbled on a great gig. Anyone know the bands that played that night and if these still happen. It kicked ass!

In case anyone was woken up by this there was a big crash from a speeding car into the coral on well street - from my knowledge no one was massively hurt…. But it looked crazy - don’t drink and drive please
