Local pub on London Fields. A little bit grimy, but in a great location nearby and has a huge fenced terrance overlooking London Fields. This means you can take your dog or small children with no fear of them escaping. you can even snd them to the playwark nearby and keep an eye on them from the pub terrace. In summer the ice-cream van parks nearby so you can treat your kids while you relax in the sun with a beer or a glass of wine. Also serves food

There's no local department store, so for those essentials you've forgotten ( a warm coat, a swimsuit, an umberella, a corkscrew, a sandwich box or a good book) you can either trek off to Oxford Street or Westfield stratford City, or drop in to our local huge charity shop, where you can normally find anything you need without adding to the amount of products already in existence in the world.
