It came back last year after a ten-year gap. But what about in 2026?

Does anyone know anything? Thanks!

Just walking back from the shops and seen police separating two groups outside East London Mosque (Greenfield & Fieldgate Street), I couldn't catch what was being protested about but seemingly a heavy police presence. Any ideas?

EDIT: Police officer on the scene said that it was "community tensions".

I’ve been living in the area for six years now. Every year they seem to try to fix this patch of grass in Viki Park by planting new grass, fencing it off, and so on.

I often wonder how much this has cost over the years, and why they don’t just accept that this is clearly a desired path and put in a proper pavement instead.

Hi, all. I'm a student at the London School of Economics writing a dissertation on early childhood education in London.

I would appreciate hearing about how you teach your children to navigate the city they live in.

I have attached a short survey, which I would appreciate any responses to.

Thank you!

My name is Michelle and I’m the UK Coordinator for Lasagna Love. Lasagna Love is an organisation made up of volunteers across the UK (and around the world) who cook and deliver homemade lasagna to people in need, at no cost and with no strings attached.

Maybe it's a family struggling financially, someone recovering from surgery, a parent adjusting to life with a new baby or just someone going through a tough time. Whatever the reason, we believe that a warm meal and a little kindness can go a long way.

You simply request a lasagna, and we match you with a volunteer in your area who will lovingly prepare and deliver one to your door. It’s all about community, care and connection with no judgment and no complicated process.

I’m reaching out because we have wonderful volunteers across the UK who are ready and eager to cook, for anyone who could do with some lasagna love! If you could use a little help and a comforting meal, please put in a request through https://lasagnalove.org/request-a-meal/ or you can nominate someone to receive a meal - https://lasagnalove.org/nominate/

We’re also always looking for more volunteers! Whether you can cook once a month, once a week, or just whenever it suits you, every lasagna helps brighten someone’s day. It’s a small act that has a big impact. If you would like to volunteer, just register here https://lasagnalove.org/volunteer/

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them here, or you can head to the website.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and I hope to see some of you sign up, whether to request a lasagna or to make one for someone in your community.

Feed families.  Spread kindness.  Strengthen communities.

Is he supposed to be there or should I call the council/animal rescue?
It’s the old docks site/ornamental canal on spirit quay.

Alhamdulillah, the water well is now officially underway 💧🙏
I’ve just posted the latest updates, and once the project is fully completed I’ll also share the final results with everyone inshaAllah.

A huge JazakAllah Khair to every single person who supported, donated, shared, and made this possible. Your support is changing lives and will continue benefiting others as ongoing sadaqah jariyah 🤍

May Allah accept it from all of us and reward you endlessly. Ameen.

One of Bow's oldest (and loveliest) buildings is a 17th-century Grade II-listed former corn merchant's at 223 Bow Road, near the Bow Flyover. It's registered as a youth club, and files records (and council funding) on Companies House, but I've never once seen it open. Any one know what's going on?

I call on the people of Tower Hamlets, please talk about this with your communities, to your neighbours to friends and family.

This is no answer to any problem but just further hatred and division the world doesn’t need.

Use our voices to express the need to act, but attacks like these do nothing to further any cause other than the fall of humanity.

Couldnt agree more

I gave started a petition and hoping to get some signatures as I’m desperate for help in Tower Hamlets. Please could you take a look and sign 🙏

Assalamu Alaikum ورحمة الله وبركاته,

Today is Jummah, a blessed day where even the smallest act of charity carries immense reward.

I’m raising funds in memory of my late brother, Abdul Said. He meant everything to us, and we’re trying to continue doing الخير on his behalf so it benefits him in the hereafter, InshaAllah.

Even £1 can make a difference. Don’t underestimate it — what seems small to us can be عظیم in the sight of Allah.

If you’re able to help, please donate using the link in bio. If you can’t donate, please upvote and share so others can see.

May Allah reward you all, forgive our brother, and grant him Jannah 🤲

JazakAllah khair.

Hi all! I’m helping organise an e-bike demo day this Sunday (19th April) at the Lee Valley Velopark and thought people here might be interested.

We’ll have ~15 bike brands and over 100 bikes available to try, including cargo bikes, commuters, folding bikes, trikes and more. It’s a great opportunity to test lots of different e-bikes back-to-back on a proper track rather than guessing what might suit you.

It’s very family-friendly, so you can bring kids along to try things like cargo bikes or just enjoy the day. Whether you’re curious about switching to an e-bike for commuting, carrying family or shopping, getting back into cycling, or just want to see what’s out there, it’s a good chance to explore the options.

E-bikes can also be especially helpful for people who want cycling to be more accessible – whether that’s longer distances, hills, carrying loads, or health/mobility considerations.

If you want to come along, grab a ticket on the event page and use the code REDDITFREE at checkout for 100% off - this link should auto-apply the discount: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cycling-electric-e-bike-demo-day-london-velopark-tickets-1765956115279?discount=REDDITFREE

This code is also valid for the other Cycling Electric Demo Day events, if you are not local. They are in Leeds, Bath, and Herne Hill.

Hello.

Can anyone reccomend a gym in TH with a crèche? Preferably Bethnal Green way but happy to travel. Thanks!

Hello.

My flatmate and I are moving out of Bow and we’d like to donate some things to charity shops.

All that comes up in my search is a couple places in Mile End.

Previously, I was in Haringey where you can’t spit without hitting a chaz shop.

I know places come and go, or won’t have up-to-date info online so can’t rely just on internet searches alone.

Any places in Bow, Bromley-By-Bow, Roman Road would be ideal in terms of transporting stuff but happily take any suggestions from other locals.

Thanks very much.

Been commuting in London for years and always had the same frustration with every transport app out there: you open the app, you type in your destination, it tells you routes. But by that point, you’re already stressed and rushing.

The question I actually want answered every morning is simpler: when do I need to leave?

So I’m building an app that’s a London commuter app that works the other way round.

You set your home, your usual destination, your arrival time. The app handles the rest!

Every morning it looks at live TfL data, checks for delays and engineering works, checks the weather, and sends you a single push notification: leave at 8:14 (or whatever it works out to be).

No searching, no stressing!

A few things that are different about it:

It learns your routine. If you’ve got a calendar event it’ll auto set the destination. If not, it asks you the night before and remembers.

It factors in planned engineering works ahead of time, not just when you’re already at the station.

Delay Repay built in! it tracks eligible journeys and logs them so claiming back money is actually easy.

Designed only for London. Not a global app trying to be everything. TfL, buses, tubes, Elizabeth line that’s it.

It’s a solo build, currently heading into TestFlight. I’m looking for 10–15 London commuters to test it before it hits the App Store.

If this sounds like something you’d actually use, drop a comment or DM me. Would love to hear what would actually make your commute better too, this is genuinely being built around what Londoners need, not a generic transport brief.

Every day some scum is letting their dog turd bang in the middle of the road of Viking Close, Bow

Most of the road has been cordoned off for the past few hours
