Please feel free to contact me with anything happening in N16 - local events, news, businesses, groups, meetings, launches... This site is made for and by you, the Stokey people!


Ever since I first came to London Stoke Newington has been my home from home. I first fell in love with its independent spirit and the multiculturality when I was working in a bar on the High Street. I came back again as a student in my second and third year sitting over my books in the coffee shops and bakeries on Church Street and frequenting the pubs and bars afterwards.
And now, years later, I still haven’t had enough. I love Clissold Park in the summer, Abney Cemetery in winter and Church Street on a weekend.

There is so much going on here and this will be the place to find out about it. I will be talking to local businesses, community groups and campaigners and put it all up here.

You too can add your local recommendations, ideas and advice on the notice board. If you have anything to sell, want to recommend your favourite restaurant, a local event or group you can do it here. If you have an issue you want to get off your chest or want to raise an issue you can do it in the chat room.

I am looking forward to meeting you around N16 and please feel free to contact me with any information , ideas or anything you think should feature on the site.
