E June 2017 Life Grid 'Giving Local Business a Global Voice.' Jo Valentina Sinclair - Local Editor What I Love About East London by Jo Valentina Sinclair Ahh London. So much to say, so much to love and where to begin? Well firstly, East London does have a hearty community of passion based entrepreneurs. I love the tranquillity that runs through Regents Canal and the ever growing side bars where you can stop and grab a drink or fresh organic pizza whilst walking along. In particular I love London Fields, home to famous Broadway Market which has a cacophony of foods from all around the world on a Saturday, a park which is one of the laid back places to be in the summer, and behind the park, a road full of hidden treasures harbouring eateries and bars you could easily spend a lost weekend in. If you’re into film & music not to mention good food, head over to The Institute of Light, a local venue featuring a record shop and cinema that shows independent art-house films. It’s also home to local underground dj nights and sports a welcoming beer garden. I haven’t tried the food yet but judging from the menu, they take it as pretty seriously! There’s also a local brewery called the Taproom which does the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time, (scrambled egg and avocado on fresh sourdough bread) a seriously cool bar and restaurant called Wringer and Mangle, the hot spot for a few well-deserved Saturday drinks, and opposite an ever so cool co-working space for freelancers and start-ups which brings me to mention Work.Life, the featured business for this month’s issue on the local business community.
