Swing Patrol Victoria Park
I love the beginner swing dance classes at The Royal Inn on the Park every Tuesday. The classes are fun, the teachers and students are friendly and the dancing is great! A great way to meet new people, get some exercise and, of course, learn to dance.Read more

What locals say about E9
“Most trendy food street in east London. Drastically improved environment, and above all good / sophisticated people moving in. Excellent access to Overground, Olympic park and Homerton Hospital”
Fahad
“Chatsworth Road becomes the focal point of Homerton at the weekend (particularly on Sunday) and has turned into THE creative hub of Hackney and has benefitted from lots of trendy cafes, a creperie, patisserie, swedish eatery, the gourmet organic food on the sunday market, and live music at The Dentist. Sundays have become a mini Portobello Road market. Summer will make it all the better. New bar and restaurant Venerdi's offers an insight into the future of the district.”

Local resident
“The park is amazing, the festivals, sports facilities and open green spaces are fantastic, but the 'village' is what makes our area. North of the park are period lined streets, centered around a wonderful hotchpotch of restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Pop down on a summer afternoon and you'll discover why this beautiful little village in the coolest area of London is the best place to live.”
Local resident
“The village feel, particulary on Lauriston Road with loads of restaurants, cafes and boutqiue shops. Also Victoria Park is such an amazing park to live next to, festivals in the summer, great place for picnics, great playgrounds and sports facilities.”

Hot Pants Ft. Barbican Estate, Black Helium + Hella Morgan
Hot Pants Takeover introduces the Heaviest & Grooviest bands from across the UK and beyond, this month featuring Barbican Estate, Black Helium & Hella Morgan After the live music, stay late for Hot Pants Rock n Roll Club for the best sleazy RnR, Garage, Funk, Soul & more! BARBICAN ESTATE Don’t let the name fool you: the members of psych rock group Barbican Estate didn’t actually grow up there – the Tokyo act are just big fans of Brutalist architecture. References to titans of art and culture are common for them, and they’ve cited the Beat Generation, William Blake, Greek mythology, and Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky as influences. “We seek to embody an art that is not limited by the concept of music,” said guitarist Kazuki Toneri. BLACK HELIUM Black Helium are a three piece psychedelic rock band based in London. Never afraid to stray from the beaten path, Stuart Gray, Beck Harvey and Diogo Gomes fearlessly traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed out psych. HELLA MORGAN Hella Morgan is a London Rock band playing spooky, heavy, raunchy Rock and Roll. Steered by vocalist/writer/guitarist, Ella Morgan, the band’s songs depict the devil and depravity (in all their mysterious forms) with wit and honesty. These genre-benders reference decades past and future, with a sound both familiar and fresh, all spiced with electrifying lead vocals, flaming bendy guitar lines and irresistibly solid grooves. The band delivers a whirlwind of a set to get crowds swooning and stomping. Influences include: Janis Joplin, Alice in Chains, Dire Straits, Jack White, Led Zeppelin, Ty Segal, The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age… Presented by Paper Dress Vintage. This is an 18+ eventRead more
