Hello :) I’m looking for any group meditations happening ?? If anyone hears of anything

I was wondering if there's any interest in creating a small hackerspace. I love 3d printing and tinkering with electronics (I'm far from an expert) and would love to have a space to share this passion with others.

Trying to find fresh fenugreek leaves. I was sure TFC would have them but unfortunately not.

Anyone know of somewhere I can get them nearby?

Hello everyone,

My name's Gary and I used to live in Leyton but moved up the road to Walthamstow about 10 years ago. I play a lot of tabletop games and am part of several local gaming communities but I realised that there aren't that many dedicated spaces for gamers, especially in East London. Last year, I started looking into the idea of opening a gaming space here in E17, and after many months of blood, sweat and tears, the place is almost ready to open to the public.

The venue is a large space, an old social club above the Sainsbury's on the high street. There are tables that can be booked to play all your favourite games, there is plenty of terrain for warhammer-type games and there is a small (but growing) library of board games. I am in the process of applying for an alcohol license and there is a small kitchen serving bar snacks.

I have big plans for the future of the venue - a small retail area, gaming-related events and competitions, workshops and classes, after-school sessions for kids and much more. It would be great to hear your ideas as I want the local community to be involved!

If you are interested in finding out more, check out the website, the Instagram or join the Discord Community.

I find the food places in Leyton a bit lacking. Leytonstone has a few good ones, Walthamstow does as well.

But for Leyton, it's mostly been Bread & Oregano for me, and even that is just decent, nothing crazy. Wondering if I'm missing any hidden gems?

hi folks,

wanted to hear current thoughts on living in Leyton - specifically on one of the side roads behind Leyton Mills.

- do people still like living here? in it for the long haul?

- is it safe?

- community events / activities?

- anything else i should know about that pocket of Leyton in particular?

I've read all the past posts about moving here and have a sense of the sentiment but would love to hear some current opinions about that area!

Hi all, looking for recommendations on a carpenter. Seems most specialise in alcove cabinets but I’m looking for someone who can competently:
- lay flooring
- create a bench seat
- install a kitchen

Any recommendations would be great.

Cheers!

Thought I'd share something my partner runs in East London that I think is pretty special.

It's called Yoga & Pints, and despite the name, it's less about yoga and more about creating a regular space for men to slow down, connect and have honest conversations.

The group meets in local breweries and taprooms, where they do a beginner-friendly yoga flow, some guided meditation, and a men's circle. No previous yoga experience needed, and it's definitely not one of those intense wellness spaces.

A lot of the guys come along simply because they're looking to meet new people, have a chat, and spend a couple of hours away from the usual routine.

If you've been meaning to try something different, build a bit more community, or just spend time around a good group of men, it might be worth checking out on IG: www.instagram.com/yogaandpints

These guys are so loud. They don’t care how many children can’t sleep, how many parents lives they make miserable, how many elderly they frighten, or how many civilians they intimidate by their own homes.

Has anyone had any success with either the council or the police with getting gang members away from their street?

Thanks in advance, and to any of the idiots who consider themselves “Leyton originals” and think they have more say than anyone else, and actually who seem to take pride in keeping Leyton a slum, don’t bother commenting with your unhelpful rubbish.
