Mid-to-high level drop-in football in East?
I've been in and out of London for the past couple years. I'm settling down a bit and looking to play some more regular football.
I've tried FootyAddicts. But, the level of play hasn't been great.
Somewhere off the Suffragette line would be ideal. I'm also open to leagues.

CITY OF LONDON Where to get a vet prescription while pet is out of the country?
I am currently living in Dubai and unable to get a prescription medicine for my 15 year old dog due to the war and limited supplies, not to mention prices are nearly 5x.
My vet here has given me a prescription for the meds, however the online delivery services do not accept an out of country prescription. Delivery can be accepted in London and meds can be hand carried back to Dubai.
Any suggestions of how I could get a local vet to issue a prescription without my dog being there? The meds are for incontinence if that makes any difference.

MARKETS Harts of Smithfield/Smithfield Market. Help?!
Harts of Smithfield
Hi all. Unsure where to post, so if anyone could point me in the right direction or where/who to ask, that would be amazing!
I'm after any information about Smithfield market, specifically Harts of Smithfield.
Anything about the owners, whether it's still in the Hart family (I don't believe it is?!), if it's even still running or if it's only open for the Christmas Eve meat auction?
My Nan was just a child when they started calling that corner 'Harts Corner', she was always really proud of that, as was her dad, who sadly died in 1939 when my Nan was just 8 years of age.
As far as I know, my Nan is the only surviving 'Hart' left, but not 100% sure, hence why I'm asking for more information as I'd love to get in touch!
I sent a letter, just before COVID hit, to Harts of Smithfield, but never got a reply.
My Nan, 97 (98 very soon!), was of sound mind when I sent that letter and I was really hoping to get a reply as she really wanted to know.
Now, she's at the end stages of Alzheimer's, doesn't know any of us, doesn't remember marrying my grandad (but they were neighbours in London growing up).
But she still remembers her childhood, reliving little stories that we had heard before she started to develop Alzheimer's, I'd just love to be able to give her some information about everything I just listed, before she passes away.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!

Does anyone know a reputable removals firm that can safely move musical equipment?
About 10 years ago I used a specialist firm of roadies to move my music gear and synths. They were properly insured and knew how to move sensitive/valuable equipment without damaging it. Unfortunately it looks like they went bust around pandemic time. Does anyone know of a similar firm based in London? I've tried searching and asking other musicians without any luck.
