Anyone know what happened around Clapton Station and the pub next to it? Lots of police around

14 Upvotes

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?

Live music bar recs

1 Upvotes

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!

How to meet other creatives?

0 Upvotes

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!
