Veggefest

From time to time I buy tickets for things from some people called Eventbrite and from time to time they send me lists of events in which they think I might be interested - which, indeed, I sometimes am.

Today's lead offering was a vegetarian night out in Stoke Newington - and if you wanted to make a night of it there is the Rose Hotel a few doors away, which looks interesting in Google StreetView. Probably best to check, as the associated web address (for this last) seems to have expired. Alternatively, the railway services of Greater Anglia are only a few steps away at Hackney Downs.

An area which we once used to know slightly, mainly on account of the huge market that used to be held on Saturdays on the Kingsland Road. A market from which, in our day, you could buy live eels - from a small boy who could cut them up for you if that is what you wanted. Don't suppose he is still there. Don't even know if the market is still there. Has the area been gentrified? Is it full of all kinds of dubious clubs?
