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
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
London Fields Lido
Perfect for a fun day out, especially in the summer, this outdoor pool in Hackney's London Fields is one of London's last remaining lidos. It is open all year round and is, of course, heated. Why not grab lunch from either one of their two cafes after an exciting dip?!Read more

"Renowned pioneer of female independence, Hackney born Dorothy Levitt was the holder of both the world water speed record and the ladies land speed record. Her tip for women drivers travelling alone? Carry a revolver!"
Bounded by canals and close to the Olympic Park, I often go running round Victoria Park.

Goldheart
Club.The.Mammoth. and Velvet Echoes present a special event featuring Goldheart, Wakey Wakey Rise & Shine and Sheepish. Goldheart is the psychedelic ensemble of Dominic Rose (Fake Turins, Enjoyable Listens, Max Fulcrum & The Win...) Providing a cinematic glimpse into the existential, Goldheart combines the 70's new york disco strut with the industrial hands of warped electronica. Wiring in the sound of barbed pop hooks (Gary Numan, Talking Heads, St Vincent) this collection of songs leaves a dark compulsion forsomething ceaseless. Their debut single ‘Barracuda’ was released in February via Hideous Mink Records \[+ State 51 distribution\]. The project is aimed to stir up the desire for connection - and explore disconnection through a lens of loss & nihilism. Stuck in a world we don’t understand, we’re all just followers of The Holy Sun. Presented by Club.The.Mammoth. and Velvet Echoes. This is an 18+ event.Read more
