Make sure to check out the vibrant murals on Aberfeldy Street – commissioned by Poplar Harca to encourage people to shop locally where possible. A small team of people worked to transform the road for six weeks during lockdown 2020. The patterns were inspired by the local community and business owners who donated old clothes and textiles. The aim was to reflect the social history of the area – with east London being associated with the manufacturing of textiles since the 18th century, and the Jewish and Bengali communities who lived there.

Arts and leisure
A 15 minute walk past the River Lea towards the Thames will bring you to Trinity Buoy Wharf. This Docklands art centre providing artists’ studios, gallery space and rehearsal rooms is a hidden gem of east London. Tucked away to the left of East India Dock Basin, you can discover a lively atmosphere with fun music, stunning views across the city and some excellent food. Check out the Orchard Cafe for a weekend brunch and Fatboys Diner for a classic 1950s style pitstop while exploring the local area.

We also look at changes to council tax rates and utilities. Current guardians will be given at least two month’s notice before their licence fees change and new guardians will not face changes for at least six months.
