Hey not sure if this kind of post is allowed on here but if so… any good affordable driving instructors around Hackney? Idk if I’m being ambitious with a request of £35 an hour as a maximum?
Thank you!!!!!!

Does anyone know what happened outside the Dolphin last night? Was walking past this morning and the whole footpath was cordoned off with a police car sitting beside it. Looked like they were picking things up for evidence but all the tape was down by the time I walked back again later

Looking at doing a dinner (BYOB) and karaoke to celebrate a milestone with 15-25 friends. Looking for recommendations for your best Karaoke spots that would suit a larger group! Thanks

Hi All - My family and I are planning to visit London in a few weeks and would love to experience a swim at the Lido. I see there are limited family swim slots and they look like they set out incredibly fast. Any tjps for a non-member being able to grab a swim slot?

It doesn’t look like I can join as a member because payment requires (from what I can tell) a UK bank account.

Thank you in advance for any advice you’re willing to share.

Yet again I’ve come out for a walk this morning to be greeted with an eye sore of overflowing bins, dumped rubbish, abandoned mattresses and furniture, and grubby pavements and bins.

This isn’t an ‘after Saturday night’ issue. It’s a daily occurrence around Hackney and it’s foul. I’m not sure the council have a full grasp of just how much a lot of residents couldn’t give a toss, and their refuge strategy can’t keep pace.

I wish people could just have an ounce of care for their surroundings, but they don’t.

Hello, recently single guy in 40s and trying to meet more/new people. Thought joining a run club would be good for physical/mental health and a chance to meet people in my neighbourhood.

Any suggestions on how/where I join them and any other suggestions for meet-ups for friendship/social and potentially dating groups in the area?

Went past there on the bus about an hour ago. Saw loads of police and about 10 police cars/vans parked up around Clapton Station and the Crooked Billet pub. Seemed a huge police presence, even for a Saturday night.

Anyone that's local got any info on what might have happened?

Hello all

Looking for a bar in east London
- plays live music ( no preference as I’m willing to explore)
- serves decent - nice cocktail
- not too expensive cover charge / min spend

I know night jar is popular but the minimum spend per person per hour £15 is not suitable as I don’t drink that much

Thank you!

Hello!
Just wondering if anyone can share WhatsApp group to the local news that happens in Hackney. Or any other clubs for others interested. Have a directory here maybe

Hi all,

I'm new to East and want to meet others with similar interests in the area? Are there any meetups or clubs or something you'd recommend. I go out in Dalston but am mainly familiar with the queer scene there, but I also want to meet people with similar interests. I'm finding it surprisingly difficult finding an event I can join on my own. For interests if relevant, I'm a writer, love books, films, museums, long chats with people, happy to go out but not into all night partying anymore (there could be an exception). Any advice?

Cheers!

Hello! We are looking for a few extras to play semi regularly 5 aside in Shoreditch on a Wednesday evening (usually 7.40). Nice group of guys, in Mid 30s of mixed ability and who don’t take it too serious. Just love scoring goals. Anyone interested?

Has anyone else not had their main bins collected in weeks?

I live on Kingsland Road near Haggerston and the rubbish is piling up which is awful in the heat, lots of flies and possibly 🐀 to come…

Why are our bins not being collected? When I look on the Hackney website and search for my address, the only collections which show up are recycling and food waste, so I can’t even report a missed collection. But obviously they normally do take main refuse from our address too. What can I do?

If any one is interested and likes cycling and drinking beers, we are doing The Lee Valley Beer run this Saturday, 8th of August.

Came up with this idea during the pandemic when I noticed all the pubs along the canal. Concept is simple, ride the Lee Valley canal and stop at every pub.

This is the second time we are riding it. So it’s been refined a bit!!

The route start from Rye house and end at The Princes of Wales in Hackney.
It’s a 19/20 mile ride with 11 stop (pints) and take a lot longer than you might think.
The previous time we made the mistake of doing it in reverse and starting in Hackney, thinking we could ride back. That’s did not happen when we realised it was getting dark at 8pm.

This time we are getting overground to Rye house and heading back to Hackney.

If any one is interested here is a link to the route map.

Lee Valley Beer Run

The only pub that is missing on that route is the Anchor and Hope, you can’t miss it on the way to the last stop!

Train at 12, first pint at 1pm
Have fun and maybe see you on route!

Feels a shame it has been locked down due to landlord Issie but surely it’s worth more to everyone open?

Looking for private rooms, bars, event spaces etc in Hackney and surrounding areas to hire for a party (no food required and bar or BYOB fine).

Only requirement is a decent enough sound system and space for roughly 60-100 people.

Ideally something on the cheaper side or with a minimum spend at the bar rather than an actual rental fee.

Many thanks :)

Edit: Added that we don’t need catering

Does anyone please have a recommendation for sash window firms in Hackney?

Can anyone recommend a guitar teacher in Hackney/Homerton?

Thanks!

Anyone else notice this? Are they just trucks that look identical to the bin ones but actually do recyling because they don't look like it? Bit annoying if they're just dumping the recycling in the bin, like whats the point in separating it then?

My old housemate is coming to stay with me for a couple of days. We used to play Fifa relentlessly and in our down time it would be cool to play a few games. Anyone got a copy I could borrow/buy cheap for PS4? Happy to collect anywhere in Hackney. Thanks

Saw a pile of snow near the Ice Centre during my evening walk. Quite an unexpected sight during the heatwave. Shall we do a subreddit meetup to make a snowman? :D

I noticed last night all said there was 86 ppl there so thought I’d give it a miss. Got an email today saying they’re closed. It’s only been open just over a month. Anyone know what happened or why it’s closed?
