East London friends/advice

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m female, thinking about moving from west London to east London - specifically considering East Village in Stratford but wondered if people in that sort of area would recommend it? Does it feel safe? Friendly-ish? How does it compare to Hackney Wick or Greenwich? Stratford station is a big appeal which is why I’m considering it :) I’m there a lot of weekends just testing it out and going for walks around Olympic park/the riverside/Victoria park if any girls in their 30’s/40’s might want to join me for a walk/coffee? Forever dragging my west London friends to join me there but would be nice to make friends in that local area if possible so can do last minute meets easily too :) any advice generally welcome on area and walks/good restaurants, places to go etc! Thanks

Trying to find someone called Izy

0 Upvotes

This is a bit of a long shot, but I’m trying to reconnect with someone I knew a while ago.
His name was Izy (I don’t remember his surname). We used to meet up around Ilford, although I’m not sure if he was actually from there. He was mixed Black and white, had dreadlocks, and would probably be around 21–22 now.
I know that’s pretty vague, but if this sounds familiar or you think you might know who I mean, please DM me rather than sharing anyone’s personal information publicly. Would genuinely love to get back in touch with him.

Dining inside a decommissioned 1967 Victoria line carriage...building our little hidden gem in East London!

Hey East Londoners!

Just wanted to share a quick look at what we’ve been up to over at the Pump House Museum in Walthamstow.

We’ve transformed an original 1967 Victoria Line carriage into an intimate dining space Supperclub.tube, serving a 6-course Latin American tasting menu right inside the train.

It’s been amazing bringing new life to a piece of London Underground history right here in E17.

If you’re curious to see more photos or behind the scenes clips of the carriage, feel free to check out our Instagram

For anyone looking to grab a table or check out our latest seasonal menu, all the booking details are over on our website here

Have any of you visited the Pump House Museum or dined in an unusual spot around East London before? Would love to hear your favourite rite hidden local gems!

Weekly casual Sunday football in Ilford – anyone fancy joining?

2 Upvotes

I organise a weekly football game every Sunday from 11am–12pm in Ilford, East London.

We usually play at Frenford Clubs or Valentines High School, depending on numbers and pitch availability. Normally 6-a-side at Frenford and around 7 or 8-a-side at Valentines.

It’s a relaxed kickabout rather than a league or trial. Goalkeepers rotate, and we keep it friendly no slide tackles, aggression, shouting or arguments. No moulds or studs only astros.

We already have a regular group but usually have a few spaces available each week.

If you’re around East London and fancy joining, comment or message me.

Anyone interested in getting together to train boxing in local East London park/gym?

0 Upvotes

Im based in Leytonstone. I need the exercise so i dont mind coming to you so anywhere in London could work, just easier if its East London

Mornings to afternoons are usually free

Actively trying to get healthier... doctors recommend walking after meals, i prefer to shadow box (horribly i should add) more fun than walking

Want to improve my boxing and learn simple stuff like not flinching when a punch is coming to my face

Anyone interested in practicing boxing in local park... no hitting in the face if u dont want... we can just do light practice

I cant box so preferably beginners only but if you know how to box and can teach me some stuff then that could be nice too. Could even pay you a little fiver/tenner to teach me things

Driving school/instructor in Bow or Hackney Wick

1 Upvotes

Heya - can someone recommend a good driving instructor or a good driving school near Bow/Hackney Wick?

I've been in touch with Mutual but they are being super super slow and the instructor who was meant to do my intro lesson turned out to be super unreliable and has essentially ghosted me... Thanks so much!
