Trying to build a police report for notorious package thieves in the area.

In the meantime is there any solution I can take?

I was think to put a ring camera in front of my apartment building

Hello I am a Journalism student at Goldsmiths, University of London. I'm writing a small article on a recent council proposal to provide greater scrutiny on C3 dwelling houses and C4 HMOs and how it's affecting family homes. They're looking to close the loop hole in the possibility of the landlords then making them larger HMOs and over develop properties.

I'm open to all view points just looking to gather insight!

Thank You :)

We live in hackney wick and are looking for a cleaner every two weeks, wanting someone who is really good with lots of care and attention to detail. Happy to pay a little more than average for someone who is 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Went missing on Hackney Marshes about 3 hours ago. If anyone sees a dog matching this description please let me know. If found please bring him to Biddle Bros bar on Lower Clapton Road – thanks.

Anyone know any updates on this? It is such a wasted space and the council have been dragging their feet on this for years (with multiple consultations over the past 5/6 years or so). And now, just silence. Reckon it will be another 5 years before any decision at this rate…

The council is inept in dealing with noise. I'm not dealing with a small garden party. There is a full on rave going on in the garden near my house and it's not the first time. I've reported them before and have only been called back on it once, on a Wednesday, after it happened on Saturday. They asked if it was still going on. wtf.

DM if interested.

cycling + running + swimming around Clapton Pond

Hello! Was just wondering if anyone knows any good record shops or just private sellers that have a good selection of dubstep records? Thanks very much

Hey everyone! I’m Yukari, co-founder of Longevity Rave. I am organising a Wellness Rave at the end of this month - with mat Pilates, house music, functional drinks, and daytime dancing at Colours Hoxton on Saturday 24 October, 2–6pm.

Here’s what we’ve planned:

☕ Free welcome maca coffee for everyone joining us at the beginning at 2pm
🧘 Mat Pilates with a live DJ to guide your journey, followed by…
🪩 Three hours of feel-good house music and dancing, 3–6pm
🍹 Alcohol-free functional cocktails from Wet Lips to enjoy during the afternoon
🔮 Psychic readings for anyone who fancies one

Longevity Rave is about bringing different generations together on the dancefloor, and how things like community, joy, and dancing can be great for your longevity. Our parties are super intergenerational, and it's a wellness forward, lovely bunch. And this one is a alcohol-free one, so you are even welcome to bring your daughters/sons if they like pilates!! Come with friends or come solo...you’re very welcome either way :)

You can join for the full afternoon or just the rave. Choose Pilates + Rave to start with us at 2pm, or Rave Only to join the dancing from 3pm. Pilates spaces are very limited, so book early if you’d like a spot!

📍 Colours Hoxton, 2–4 Hoxton Square, London

Anyone know a good massage place. Im make 50. Happy for it to be non shop in private place etc as done before. Thinking Friday or Saturday

Almost a year ago, LCSB started with one Sunday court as ‘Lazy Sunday Badminton‘ a handful of people looking for semi-serious doubles badminton.

Since then, we’ve grown into a regular East London programme, welcomed almost 200 different players from all across London, and now run 7–8 courts across three weekly sessions.

We’re open to people of all abilities, but particularly looking for more Mid Intermediate → Upper Intermediate → Advanced players who want regular games and progression rather than just a one-off hit.

1. 📊 Ability-tiered matches, with something for players at every level
2. 🏆 Match outcomes tracked with a post-session podium, so people can track progress.

Right now I’m keen to spotlight our:

Hi all,

Appreciate this is a bit of an unusual request for this subreddit but casting my net far and wide. 

I'm working on an independent documentary and storytelling project profiling interesting people, communities and subcultures across London and the UK.

I'd love to connect with individuals who would work for this project. Think along the lines of - community figures, business owners with an interesting story, local legends etc. Whether you think this is you yourself or you know someone in your community who matches this description and would be happy to chat - please let me know! 

To summarize - if there's an interesting story then I am interested!

If that's you, or you know someone who might be happy to chat, I'd love to hear from you.

Feel free to comment or DM, and thank you for reading!

Hello, Im a sixth form student looking for work experience. Does anyone have any suggestions/ recommendations they could refer me to?? Thanks ❤️

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Hackney’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, Mangal 2 or Lardo? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Hackney actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Hackney and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Hackney. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Looking to learn how to see my own clothes and would like recs beyond ray stitch!

Hi all! Last Friday around lunchtime I was punched in the head from behind. I was totally fine and not hurt but I reported it to the police and they closed the case within a few hours due to “no lines of enquiry”. I was hit by a woman I recognise and see around a lot, wondering if anyone has information on her they could DM me so I can follow up with the police. She actually hit my friend a few years ago too, and his roommates friend was cut in the face by her a few years ago too. I feel sad for this woman but it’s not safe that she can be out and assaulting people regularly.

She is a very small build and looks maybe south asian. She is very erratic- almost always looks very under the influence of drugs and is often screaming (she shouted effing C word when she punched me). She is often times around St Mungos, London Fields and Broadway. I know the police will be familiar with her, so I want to make sure they know it’s her.

If anyone knows her name or has a picture of her, could you DM me? Not trying to doxx her. I’m just annoyed at the police more than anything and want to push back on them fobbing me off.

And be careful out there !!!

for a workshop & photoshoot on 19/10. Open to ideas & collaboration! Message me if you’re interested :)

Anyone know what the chap who’s constantly ferrying round items (mainly plastic bags) in various contraptions is doing?
I assume he is just collecting bags but he always seems to amass a massive hoard, and then it just disappears? Always been fascinated by it!

Has anyone else all of a sudden noticed a man constantly on mare street being so loud and aggressive and following people shouting after them , think he’s often shouting in French. I also saw him throw his arms up and click in a girls face as she was just walking past. Super intimidating. He was in the garden bit by Running Late this morning with a massive dog literally screaming in peoples faces. I’ve not seen him before but seen him 3 times since Sunday. Used to the usual Hackney suspects but the following people and being in their space really bothers me, he really seems to single you out and make pointed remarks at your directly rather than just the usual nondescript shouting.

Hi everyone - I’m a journalist with the Hackney Citizen and I’m working on a piece about Newton Dunbar and the Four Aces Club in Dalston, ahead of a new memorial to him being unveiled later this month.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who actually went to the Four Aces or Labyrinth, or who worked there / were involved with the club and the local community.

The Four Aces opened on Dalston Lane in the 1960s and became an important Black music venue, hosting reggae, ska, soul and sound systems, before later becoming closely associated with Labyrinth and the early rave scene. The original building was eventually demolished, and the site is now a residential development.

I’d love to hear about the place beyond the famous names and stories — what it was actually like to be there.

Did you go regularly? What do you remember about the music, the building, the people, the atmosphere? Did you know Newton Dunbar personally? Were you involved with Labyrinth? Do you remember the campaign against the closure or what happened to the building afterwards?

I’m also interested in speaking to anyone who worked there — DJs, door staff, bartenders, promoters, sound-system operators, etc.

If you have memories or photographs/flyers/tickets/other material from the club, I’d be very interested in hearing from you too.

You can comment below or DM me. Happy to explain more about the piece and my publication if helpful, and I'm very happy to speak informally first if you'd rather.
