I ♥ East London is our way of sharing all the things we love about East London, with you. Great local restaurants; the best bookshops; up-and-coming entrepreneurs; a secret space we’re happy to share; eclectic events and East Londoners who inspire us – they are our hidden gems and why we love this diverse, buzzy part of the Capital.

CREATE Festival



The CREATE festival, sponsored by Deutsche Bank, runs from 19th June to 1st August and will present some of London’s best home-grown talent, giving you a chance to take part in a magnificent range of cultural events in the five boroughs hosting the London 2012 Olympics.

Go bonkers with Dizzee Rascal, dive into London Fields’ lido for an underwater soundscape, marvel at Punchdrunk’s new opera, The Duchess of Malfi, sing along with the wonderful Paloma Faith, build a vegetable villa in Hackney, find Tracey Emin in a disused post office…

 

CREATE has something for pretty much everybody, so roll on up to the right side of London and join in. Full programme details will be launched soon here.
