Happenings in Hackney Wick. Listing: extraordinary events, ordinary occurrences, incidental inconveniences plus some general randomness from the island of E9.

[Here East @HereEast]

The work on show at the #PeoplesPavilion is incredible – it’s hard to pick a winner!

These designs created by young East Londoners in collab w/ @BTB_Consultants & @Poor_collective as part of @LFArchitecture hosted by #HereEast are truly inspiring.

Come down and vote 🗳

We’re still holding off reopening the studio to the public but starting this Sunday we’re trying something new: a small weekly outdoor market of books & things for the home/studio. Sundays 10am–4pm right outside our studio doors on Dace Road E3. Hope to see you!

Hi @mayorofhackney. Are there plans to reinstate the old @hackneycouncil plaque marking the invention of plastic (Parkesine) here (E95NN) in 1866? Always loved that it blended in with the wall & was barely legible 3 metres up! https://t.co/eCTaz9ejPC (unless it’s hiding again!)

Got a connection to Hackney Wick? Join myself and @thepeopletweet *outdoors or online* this weekend and have your say about what people should know about this fast-changing area for #WickSpeaks.

[Hackney Bridge @hackney_bridge]

During our community consultation, one of the requests we heard most often was for more public seating. We've had some help from local furniture designers Ellen Svenningsen + Jutta Goessl to create seating that will be flexible and soften the environment with planting. 🌱⁠

“I worry about the old people - the ones staying in – doing as they're told - getting thin and forgetful... and I worry about the ones that go out on the buses like nothing’s happening.” We interview Wick residents about their lives under lockdown. https://t.co/MiUsbJ6Afd
