Tredegar Square

Beautiful green space in zone 2.

Swing Patrol Victoria Park

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.

Cafe du Metro

Cafe du Metro

Fresh pastries and amazing cakes, as well as great customer service.

"Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) stayed at Kingsley Hall, Powis Road, E3 in 1931."

Stratford has become a shopping destination after the construction of the Westfield shopping centre.

'Robert' the steam engine was restored for the 2012 Olympics and has become a permanent fixture outside Stratford Station.

I love walking along the Lee Navigation in Hackney Wick and looking at all the charming narrow boats.
