Diddy's
Diddy's, a café by day and bustling bar by night is a cultural hub situated on the corner of Mare Street and beck road. Just a stone throw away from London fields, this bright and light space offers everything from coffee to their signature cocktails at reasonable prices creating an environment where patrons feel valued and where you "can have a night out without feeling like you have spent all your rent money" owned by Diddy herself.Read more
Pho House
After trying nearly all of the Vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland Road, this is by far the best. The setting is cool with graffiti style art on the walls and the service is excellent compared to other places on the same road. Complimentary tea and watermelon at the end is exactly what is needed after trying the extensive menu of pho, noodles, summer rolls and fresh fish.Read more
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

The takeover of the Overground at Hackney Central has been fantastic for the local area - there's proposals for Crossrail 2 at this station too!

Carromancy Divination Workshop with Rose-Marie Luk
With the flickering glow of candlelight, we will convene to unlock ancient wisdom and the language of the spirit. This workshop invites you to explore Carromancy Divination—a timeless art of interpreting abstract forms—to access hidden messages and set your personal intentions for the days ahead. Immerse yourself in the IMT Gallery space, subtly infused with aromatic eucalyptus to awaken the mind and soothe the soul. A curated experience awaits: watch as wax is poured into water to create abstract forms, engage in guided sketching to capture fleeting shapes, and join in meditative reflections that draw you closer to your intuitive self. In this immersive two-hour workshop led by interdisciplinary artist Rose-Marie Luk, you will: - Discover the ancient origins of Carromancy, tracing its roots from Celtic druids to diverse indigenous traditions. - Engage in a step-by-step creative process: pouring, observing, drawing, and interpreting the shifting forms of candle wax. - Craft a unique talisman spell jar by combining your wax creation with foraged objects and healing crystals, imbuing it with your personal intentions for peace and protection. - Participate in reflective meditations designed to harmonise your creative energies and deepen your connection to the universe. About Rose-Marie Luk Rose-Marie Luk explores her cross-cultural identity through transformative art practices that channel ancestral wisdom, evoke forgotten memories, and uncover hybrid creations. Using automatic techniques and sigil calligraphy, she bridges the sacred and the spiritual, transmuting confoundment into clarity. Rose-Marie’s practice speaks to lost languages and evolving identities, encouraging connection, growth, and self discovery. In this workshop, Rose-Marie channels ancient divination practices to help you reconnect with your inner vision and discover the alchemy of transformation. Please bring your preferred drawing materials and sketchbook—additional supplies will also be provided. Reserve your spot now for an evening of inspiration and connection.

About Haggerston
Haggerston is an area and a electoral ward in the London Borough of Hackney, in northeast London. It is bounded by Hackney Road on the south, Kingsland Road on the west, Middleton Road on the north with London Fields and Broadway Market on the east. In the 1990s a number of the area's more rundown housing estates were refurbished and some disused public buildings were privately converted as gated communities. The proximity to Hoxton and Shoreditch has made the area popular with students and workers in the creative industries.
