See it roar: New beginnings at The Lion
You might have noticed the light. Over the last couple of days Church Street has been lit up like a Christmas tree… The Lion is back!
Well, almost.
After well over six months of refurbishment, severe water damage that completely destroyed the new hardwood floors, and more refurbishment, The Lion is re-opening on Saturday, 12 June, in [...]
The Hackney Gentlemen’s Racing Club – From Church Street to Mongolia
Whatever plans you have for summer, chances are they won’t be quite as wacky as those of the Hackney Gentlemen’s Racing Club, a group of local residents who are competing in this year’s Mongol Rally, an automotive endurance race to Mongolia.
In July, the four friends from Stoke Newington who make up the team will attempt [...]
Datte Foco – Pizza with a Twist
Yesterday I finally sampled the pizza at the latest addition to Stoke Newington Church Street’s Italian Connection, Datte Foco. As someone else has said before me, Datte Foco, which calls itself a “pizza and love joint”, is not like other pizza restaurants out there, and this might be the reason it took me so long [...]
Stokey Fashion Rocks again at Abney Hall
On Friday, 27 November at 6pm, Stokey Fashion Rocks! will return to Abney Hall for a night of charity gala glam in support of Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Already on its third outing, Stokey Fashion Rocks is a seasonal fashion show put on by our local independent boutiques and shops… this time Androulla Fashions, Hub, Red, [...]
Poor old Church Street…
If you are wondering why Church Street is being dug up yet again, causing untold traffic and transport problems, it isn’t to replace the Victorian waterpipes or the gas mains… this time it is all in the name of regeneration.
Church Street has long been seen as a focal point of Stokey, attracting locals and visitors [...]
Another drop in the OCEAN
Stereo Stokey says a sad farewell to Ocean Books on Church Street who, after trading for fifteen years, closed their doors for the last time on Sunday.
There is something special about bookshops in general and especially second-hand ones. It was easy to spend an hour or two browsing the great selection of second-hand books in [...]
Alistair’s Brasserie
Alistair used to cook in The Daniel Defoe along Church Street, and having often eaten there we decided to check out his new restaurant, also on Church Street. We went along on a Friday evening for dinner. Being the first ones in there initially, the place soon filled up and seemed quite a popular choice, [...]
Beat the credit crunch at the Stoke Newington Indoor Car-boot & Vintage Sale
Being a bit careful with your cash due to crap economic climate or job security fears? Or perhaps you are fed up of looking like every other Primark-clad clone? Either way, come and have a browse at the Stoke Newington Indoor Car-boot & Vintage sale this Saturday, 16 May.
Il Bacio and Booth’s – Like Coke and Pepsi
When you ask the average Stoke Newington resident (if such a thing exists) what their favourite pizza restaurant in Stokey is, chances are that they’ll pick Il Bacio. But then Booth’s seems to win a lot of awards recently, and I personally prefer their pizza. In fact, this was one of the dividing factors between [...]
