People
Local carnival group Paraiso (above) have been working with performers and artists from Rio, ahead of the One Hackney Festival parade on 21 July
HE most spectacular
street parade that
Hackney has ever seen
will take place on
Saturday, 21 July, to welcome the
Olympic torch to the borough.
All eyes will be on the
2,000-strong One Hackney
Festival parade when performers
and artists from Rio join local
groups such as Tropical Isles and
Paraiso to deliver a spectacular
combination of dance, music
and costume.
The parade will begin at
10.30am, when a single horsedrawn Hackney cab leaves Pitfield
Street, Shoreditch, to make its way
T
up Kingsland Road. The parade
will feature 15 floats, including six
‘soundscapes’– which tell the story
of Hackney – as it travels along
a 2.8 mile route through Hoxton
and Dalston, arriving at Stoke
Newington Church Street just
before 2pm.
Sounds along the route will
range from electro, Afrobeat and
party vibes, to music inspired by
Carnival tradition.
Joining local DJs and musicians,
is a 35-strong troupe of top
musicians from Brazil, who are
coming over specially to take part
in the parade. The Rio-London
collaboration, delivered by
Create London on behalf of the
London 2012 Festival, includes
samba groups from Rio, such as
Fundicao Progresso’s Monobloco
and Sargento Pimienta (Sergeant
Pepper – a Beatles tribute act)
and the leading disabled carnival
group, Embaixadores da Alegria.
There will also be plenty of
entertainment throughout the
borough, including the arrival of
the Olympic torch at Shoreditch
High Street just before 4pm.
In a change of schedule, a free,
ticketed Clissold Park event to
celebrate the torch’s arrival in
Hackney has been cancelled
because the site is waterlogged
and has been deemed unsafe.
Anyone who booked tickets is
being contacted.
The torch relay will end at
around 6.30pm when the last
Hackney torchbearer hands over
the flame to Waltham Forest.

Dame Kelly Holmes with pupils from Haggerston school; Kelly with Headteacher Dr Jane Keeley and Christiana Egere (inset)
DAME Kelly Holmes spent
a day inspiring a new
generation of potential
Olympians when she visited
Haggerston school.
Speaking to the pupils, she said:
“When I was 12, my PE teacher
inspired me to get involved in
sport – it all started at school.”
Dame Kelly met with Christiana
Egere, a student who secured a
place on the Olympic torch relay
though the school’s partnership
with law firm Freshfields, and
the school’s Headteacher Dr
Jane Keeley.
The 2004 double Olympic
champion also opened a school
community festival and planted
a time capsule due to be opened
on 7 July 2062.
Haggerston school has taken
part in a number of Olympic
activities in the run-up to
London 2012, including
kayaking with an Olympic
medallist and speaking with
Paralympian Richard Whitehead.

OLUNTEERS
from Hackney
were among the
first people to stay
in the Olympic Athletes’
Village before it opened
its doors to the world’s
greatest sportsmen and
women on 16 July.
They got an exclusive look
around the accommodation
and facilities, which will
be a home-from-home for
athletes during the Games.
All five volunteers are
Hackney Hosts – residents
who are supporting
2012-related activities
within the borough
and helping to promote
the Olympic and
Paralympic Games among
their communities.
They were among 1,000
people invited to spend a
night at the Athletes’ Village
for a test run of the
complex, which will host
over 15,000 athletes.
The volunteers were given

the Olympic Park
and introduced to
Olympic gold medal
winning triple jumper
Jonathan Edwards.
Afterwards, the
volunteers enjoyed dinner
in the 5,000-seat dining
room which will serve
45,000 meals a day.
Rose Nevers,
a driver for
Hackney
community
transport,
said: “The
dining room
was massive,
with different
foods from all
parts of the world.
“We ended our day at
The Globe, the athletes’
nightclub, which was
really good – and there
was live music.”
HACKNEY’S longest running festival has successfully
celebrated its 23rd year this summer.
The finale of the 2012 Day-Mer festival took place in
Clissold Park on Sunday, 4 July.
The annual, free cultural event was the conclusion of a
programme of artistic and cultural activities for all ages,
organised by the Turkish and Kurdish Community Centre
in Hackney. There was traditional dancing and cuisine, as
well as musical performances and addresses by guest
speakers from both Turkey and the UK.
For over two decades the Day-Mer centre has provided
advice, information on access to services, education and
cultural activities.
The annual programme features a
range of artistic and cultural events
which aims to bring together
people from Hackney’s
diverse communities.

Free bay parking for shoppers
TEMPORARY free parking bays for customers have been
created outside Hackney shops for the duration of the
London 2012 Games to support local business.
Shop owners will have to apply to the Council for the
vouchers, which are valid for a maximum of three hours,
with no return within two hours.
There is no limit to the number of vouchers businesses
can request and give out to customers. All the vouchers
are valid until 9 September.
Cllr Feryal Demirci, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods,
said: “I’d like to remind shoppers that local shops and
businesses have free visitors’ parking vouchers that their
customers can use.
“It’s important that we continue to support local
businesses over the summer, which is why the Council
ensured free parking vouchers and temporary bays were
available during Games time.”
The majority of Games time parking restrictions are in
operation from 21 June to 9 September.

YOUNG residents are being encouraged to take part in a
project to help make a difference in their community.
Established in 2010, the Youth Engagement Plus programme
(YEP) gives young people an opportunity to have their voice

YEP’s aim is to increase the amount of youth and community
activities taking place on estates, while being a sounding
board for landlords in order to help bring about change.

Marva Antoine heads Hackney youth carnival troupe, Tropical Isles, which will welcome the Olympic torch to Hackney, as part of the One Hackney Festival on 21 July
ITH only
days before
One Hackney
Festival on
21 July, Marva Antoine
seems somewhere between
enlightened calm and
nervous freneticism.
Perhaps she’s even
mastered being in both
states simultaneously after
10 years heading Hackney
youth carnival troupe,
Tropical Isles.
Founder Marva, her
team, and countless young
local performers have
delighted audiences from
the Royal Opera House to
Notting Hill Carnival with
their dance routines and
costume designs.
They are now preparing
for one of their biggest
shows ever, when
thousands will celebrate
the arrival of the Olympic
torch in the borough
with the One Hackney
Festival parade.
W
Speaking from the
festival preparation space
in Hoxton, she says:
“Hackney carnival is
different, it has its own
community identity with
young people. We’re
very excited about being
involved in the parade
to welcome the Olympic
torch – this is such a special
moment for us.”
Along with her twin
sister, Marva also runs the
bridal wear store, House
of Antoine, on Kingsland
Road – which doubles
as a training centre for
Tropical Isles members.
Young people – aged 13
to 19 – can take dance,
choreography, video,
printmaking and design
classes there.
Marva says: “The kids
take it seriously and they
get to perform at big
events. We’ve taken part
in the Berlin Carnival
of Culture, which had a
We’re very excited about
being involved in the Olympic
torch event – this is such a
special moment for us
parade of international
carnival groups. They
performed on stage to an
audience of 10,000 – it was
fantastic for them.”
The organisation also
teaches the history of
Notting Hill Carnival and
celebrates Black History
Month – all of which,
Marva believes, gets the
youngsters recognised as
positive role models.
She says: “Some go into
filming or get picked up by
the BBC. Some go
to St Martin’s or other
arts and fashion schools
with a work ethic we
instilled here.”
An estimated 40 awards
have been won by Tropical
Isles since it first opened
its doors in 2002. “When
it comes to costume design
and performance, we’re
quite good,” Marva muses.
The work is funded

Travels to Samba City in Rio
from the Arts Council,
and Hackney Council
has also contributed to its
development for the One
Hackney Festival.
Marva is especially
grateful for the 15
volunteers who helped with
workshops, research trips
and exhibition visits.
She says: “People hear
about us and want to
get involved. They may
film events, or do some
marshalling, or wear
costumes to support the
young people at carnivals.”
In fact there are few
skills that wouldn’t come
in handy for the charity
that usually spends nine
months preparing for just
one event.
In May, London 2012
organisers flew Marva and
the team to Samba City
in Rio to see how one of
the biggest carnivals in the
world put on a show.
She says:“With the
materials they have, their
concept of design and
detail was fantastic. Unless
you see it live, it’s hard to
really understand how
great their costumes are.”
Tropical Isle’s theme
for this year’s One Hackney
Festival is ‘It’s A London
Thing’. Marva explains:
“It’s based on London’s
iconic buildings. There will
be six birds and six colours
representing a theme of
London. For example, the
blue bird will represent the
River Thames and yellow,
Big Ben.”
She adds: “It’s a real
challenge but you’re full of
adrenaline when
you’re working to see it
finished. Watching young
people put everything
together is fantastic and to
see families, friends
and other people turn up
to do the workshop is
great. This really is a
community event.”

There’s so much to do
in and around Hackney.
From theatre to club
nights, art exhibitions
to community events.
Here’s our pick of
what’s on this fortnight:
1. IN THE RINGS

A retrospective exhibition
celebrating the 70th birthday of
boxer Muhammad Ali

2. STA FAMILY

5. HISTORY OF
HACKNEY
20 July, Hackney Empire, E8
Guided walks around various
sites in the borough
See Noticeboard
And although the Black Country rockers’ classic Iron Man (or ‘I
Ron Man’ – Ron meaning rum in Spanish) isn’t the pick of all-star
Latin American fusion band Ondatropica’s repertoire, it is another
example of modern mix-match music. Turn up to Rich Mix, Passing
Clouds and Servant Jazz Quarters and you’re as likely to hear a
Brazilian playing Latin reggae on a guitar as a Nigerian funk DJ set.
Riding the new cumbia wave, Ondatropica incorporates everything
from jazz and hip-hop to electronica. The sound clash of an
82-year-old flautist and a young beatboxer will be something
to behold when the duo and the rest of the crew appear at
Hackney Empire.

Jamaica 50 at
Indig02
TO celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jamaica’s
independence, IndigO2 will play host to the Jamaica 50
Festival with some of the most iconic reggae, ska
and dub artists appearing on its stage.
For a small island state, Jamaica’s cultural impact
on the world vastly outweighs its size, as this
line-up testifies.
And on 29 July, a legends band consisting of Ernest
Ranglin (guitar), Tyrone Downie (piano), Sly Dunbar
(drums) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass) will entertain
audiences in the Greenwich venue.
Ska pioneer Ernest Ranglin is associated with acts such as
Jimmy Cliff and Prince Buster; Tyrone Downie accompanied
Bob Marley and The Wailers; while prolific musicians
Sly and Robbie (pictured) have produced hits such as No
Doubt’s ‘Hey Baby’ and their own chart-topper ‘Boops’ .
Other artists performing over the two-week celebration
include Lee Scratch Perry, Mad Professor, Jimmy Cliff,
Maxi Priest, Tarrus Riley, Gyptian, John Holt and Shaggy.
In addition, there will be film screenings, a Bob Marley
exhibition and comedy theatre shows.
Jamaica 50 Festival runs from 25 July to 10 August at
Indig02, Peninsula Square, SE10 0DX. For more info, visit:

ARTS venue Chats Palace hosts the last of
a trilogy of pop-up theatre shows offering
new and makeshift plays.
The project, led by playwright Andrew

contemporary play about only getting a

Andrew said: “It’s funny, but it’s dark and
unsettling, too. I like to write plays that
don’t spoon-feed audiences.
“They are intelligent, and therefore
my plays deliberately challenge and

Dalston
dolce vita
Described as one of the
UK’s coolest places by Italian
Vogue, Kingsland High Street
is benefiting from a number
of regeneration projects
The peace mural outside the Eastern Curve Garden, Dalston Lane, has benefitted from new paving and flower planters. Below (from left): Cllr Feryal Demirci, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods; Mayor of Hackney, Jules Pipe; the
Council’s Head of Regeneration Delivery, Andrew Sissons; and Deputy Mayor of London, Kit Malthouse, visit the area. Bottom: Caitlin Elster of muf architecture/art, and Jo Gibbons of J&L Gibbons, who designed Making Space in Dalston
£1.3million
investment has
transformed
Kingsland High
Street so that it is ready to
welcome visitors from all
over the world this year.
The funding was
secured from the Mayor
of London’s office as part
of a drive to ensure all the
capital’s public spaces are
fit for a world-class city.
The main aim of the
scheme was to improve the
urban environment along
Kingsland High Street
to make it easier to walk
and cycle in the area. The
year-long scheme was
designed by Transport
for London (TfL) and
Hackney Council.
Dalston – described
by Italian Vogue as one
of the coolest places in
A
www.hackney.gov.uk
Britain – was visited by
Kit Malthouse, Deputy
Mayor of London; Jules
Pipe, Mayor of Hackney;
and Cllr Feryal Demirci,
Cabinet Member for
Neighbourhoods, on 5 July.
They viewed the completed
improvement works
between the junction of
Crossway and Shacklewell
Lane to the junction with
Dalston Lane.
Mayor Pipe said: “The
improvement works make
it easier for residents and
business to move around
Dalston, and are part of
the Council’s wider vision
for the town centre,
which has included the
new Dalston CLR James
Library and Hackney
Archive, as well as the
cultural spaces of Dalston
Square and Gillett Square.”
Ben Plowden, Director
of Planning for TfL Surface
Transport, said: “We are
delighted the public realm
improvements have given
– the busiest and largest
town centre in Hackney
– a pleasant look and feel
for its residents, as well as
for the many spectators
who will descend on the
borough in less than a
month for the London
2012 Games.”
The Deputy Mayor
of London and Mayor
Pipe were also shown
improvements to the area
thanks to the recent TfL
‘Streets for People’ scheme,
which included planting
new trees, improving
pavements and removing
railings, as well as the
£1million ‘Making Space
in Dalston’ project, which
connected open spaces
with new homes, Dalston
Square and Dalston
Junction station.
The project is a
partnership between
the Council, the Greater
London Authority,
residents and businesses.
Mayor Pipe, summed
up the combined effect:
“Taken together this will all
serve Dalston’s long-term
future, as a growing town
centre and better place to
live for residents,” he said.

Club; 6. Eton Mission in Gainsborough Road, from which the Boys’ Club sprang; 7. Gerald Wellesley, founder of the Eton Manor Boys’ Club
F you see a runner in
a pale blue and white
hooped vest, you
can be sure they’re a
member of one of East
London’s oldest athletics
clubs – Eton Manor AC.
Along with Eton
Mission Rowing Club, it
is part of Eton College’s
philanthropic legacy from
its activities amongst the
poor of Hackney Wick,
which began during the
1880s, and established the
Eton Mission and Eton
Manor Boys’ Club.
The Boys’ Club was
founded by Gerald
Wellesley, grandson of the
Duke of Wellington, who
arrived at the Mission in
1907. He was so moved by
the poverty affecting local
youngsters that he spent
the next 13 years of his
life working to give them
opportunities to escape
I
from their deprivation
through social and sporting
activities. He created a
club for teenage boys in
Daintry Street, and later
an Old Boys’ Club for past
members, many of whom
remained committed to the
organisation for the rest of
their lives.
Club life stressed the
values of education,
comradeship, social
awareness and sporting
excellence, priding itself
on ‘sportsmanship and
gentlemanly behaviour on
and off the field of play’.
The club was so
successful that by 1913,
when it split from the
Mission, members were
able to raise enough funds
to build a new club house
on the site of the old Manor
Dairy Farm in Riseholme
Street, from which it took
its name.
Wellesley was joined in
his work by fellow Old
Etonians Alfred Wagg,
Sir Edward Cadogan and
Arthur Villiers – and it was
Villiers, son of the Earl
of Jersey, who became
the driving force
behind the
5
Manor until
its closure
in the
1960s.
In
1923, he
bought
The
Wilderness,
30 acres of
water-filled former
ballast pits on the Leyton
side of the Lea River. This
was developed into an
extensive sports ground
with football, rugby and
cricket pitches; tennis and
squash courts; a bowling
green; swimming pool;
running track; canteen and
clubhouse – all dedicated
to the memory of 20 club
members killed during
the First World War. A
memorial to members who
died in both World Wars
still exists on the site.
Eton Manor
produced a
number
of noted
sportsmen,
including
footballer
Nobby
Stiles – star
of Manchester
United and
England’s 1966
World Cup winning team –
and champion boxer Harry
Mallin, the first man ever to
win two successive Olympic
gold medals.
In the run up to the
1948 Olympics, club
member Les Golding was
part of the torch relay,
and once the Games had
finished, Villiers acquired
the cinder running track
from Wembley stadium
and had it transferred to
The Wilderness. In 1952,
it became London’s first
floodlit track, with events
attracting huge crowds.
Members were not only
encouraged to develop
sporting skills, they also
gained useful experience
from helping to run the
club, including producing
its monthly ‘ChinWag’
magazine, sitting on various
sporting committees,
providing trained first-aid,
and producing dramatic
and musical performances
for the local community.
Villiers closed the club
in 1967, two years before
his death, though many
members still keep in
contact. The Wilderness
became neglected and
derelict, but has now been
redeveloped as the Eton
Manor, a sporting facility
for the 2012 Games, hosting
the Paralympic Wheelchair
Tennis competition, as well
as housing training pools
for aquatic events. After the
Games, Eton Manor will
become a tennis, hockey
and football centre for local
and regional communities.

SUBRENA de Groot joined Hoxton Apprentice’s Sodexho Healthy Eating Programme
last September. She was recommended by the course co-ordinator to join the work
placement scheme as a volunteer. In June, Subrena became a full time apprentice,
and now works alongside Head Chef Leon and rest of the kitchen team.
Subrena has always enjoyed working in the catering industry. She has experience
in the hospitality sector in her native Guyana, working in customer service roles
and as a cocktail waitress. When Subrena moved to the UK, she worked in schools
overseeing lunchtimes. She was also involved in volunteering and travelled to
developing countries helping people to establish sustainable businesses.
Now, Subrena would like to share her knowledge of food, as well as helping young
people to eat healthily and live independently.

Serves 2
Ingredients
• 2 duck breasts
• 100g rocket and watercress salad
• 250g cherry tomatoes (halved)
• Bunch of spring onions (sliced diagonally)
• Bunch of bean shoots
• Juice of half an orange

A CONSULTATION
exercise was undertaken
between July and October
last year on proposals to
review the zig zag ‘keep
clear markings’ outside
Hackney schools and
standardise the hours of
traffic regulations.
The process gave
schools the opportunity
to either request new
markings, or to ask
for existing ones to
be relocated.
The majority of
responses were in favour
of the Council’s
proposals. As a result, the
Council has now renewed
most school keep clear
signs and road markings
in the borough. ‘No
stopping’ times have been
standardised across most
school roads in the
borough from Monday to
Friday, between 8am to
9.30am, and 2.30pm to
4.30pm; or 2pm to 5pm
throughout the year.
Any motorists who stop
on the school keep clear
markings will be at risk of
receiving a penalty fine.
Enforcement of these
restrictions is important
for the safety of
The Council has reviewed school keep clear markings

DRAFT DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT AND DRAFT SITE
ALLOCATIONS LOCAL PLANS FOR CONSULTATION
Hackney Council is consulting on two draft planning policy
documents as part of its Local Development Framework (LDF),
namely the draft Development Management and draft Site
Allocations Local Plan, in accordance with the above regulations.
The consultation period will run from the 16th of July 2012 to
the 25th of September 2012, running for a duration of 10 weeks
overall.
The draft Development Management Local Plan (DMLP) contains
proposed planning policies used mainly to guide and determine
planning applications within the Borough (along with other
LDF documents). The draft Site Allocations Local Plan (SALP)
identifies key strategic sites across the Borough and specific
policies for those sites, setting out a range of development
paramenters including landuse. This document will also be
used to guide and determine planning applications on those
sites, in addition to the DMLP and other LDF documents. More
information about the purpose of each document, and all of the
draft policies, are contained within the documents themselves.

Meet the Torch
Hackney on
parade 21 JULY
At 10.30am on Saturday, 21 July, a single
horse-drawn Hackney cab will leave Shoreditch
Park at the head of the One Hackney Festival
Parade – a spectacular street procession that
will launch a day of celebration all over Hackney
to welcome the Olympic Torch.
The Parade includes 15 floats, with six
‘soundscapes’ featuring electro, Afrobeat,
carnival rhythm and sounds from the silk road.
Leading samba groups from Rio including
Fundicao Progresso’s Monobloco and
Sargento Pimienta (aka Sergeant Pepper –
a Beatles samba tribute act) and the leading
disabled carnival group Embaixadores
da Alegria, join local groups as part of the
Rio-London collaboration.

Olympic Torch comes home
hen the Olympic Torch
enters Hackney at Shoreditch
High Street just before 4pm
on Saturday, 21 July, it will
be coming home. Its 7.9 mile journey
through the borough starts just metres
away from Barber Osgerby, the studio
where it was conceived, and leaves
via Hackney Marshes just two and
a half hours later within sight of the
Velodrome.
Every Hackney resident and business
will be within 20 minutes walking or
cycling distance from the Torch, and
W
thousands will see it passing by their
own front doors, as it travels up the A10
through Hoxton, Dalston and Stoke
Newington. From there it travels along
Lordship Park, and Amhurst Road to
Hackney Central, before heading east
along Morning Lane and Homerton
Road.
Jules Pipe, Mayor of Hackney, said:
“This is our chance to share in the
excitement of the final build-up to the
Olympic Games. We want residents to
come out with their friends and families
all along the route to cheer the Torch
bearers as the flame gets closer to the
Olympic Stadium.”
Hackney residents will be among
the first Londoners to greet the Torch
following its arrival in London the night
before, and it will visit all 33 London
boroughs before arriving at the Olympic
Park on 27 July. Thirty one Torchbearers
will carry the flame through Hackney,
with each one carrying the Torch for an
average of 300 metres.
Crowds around the Torch have been
huge across the country, and are likely to
grow as it nears London. In Hackney the
Torch will pass by key celebration points
– the Shoreditch Festival at the canal at
Haggerston, Gillett Square in Dalston,
Hackney Town Hall Square and St Johnat-Hackney church, and finally, Mabley
Green – so there will be many places to
celebrate as it goes by.

A day of entertainment all over Hackney
The Olympic Torch has 8,000 holes, one for
each inspirational Torchbearer
The planned event at Clissold Park will not now take place because the event site is waterlogged and has been
deemed unsafe. Anyone who booked tickets for this event is being contacted. The parade will run as planned
along the same 2.8 mile route, ending at Stoke Newington. There will be some extra pop-up surprises around the
borough during the day which will be announced this week.
A Hackney Torchbearer says
Hackney swimming
coach, Vicki Carter,
recalls her experience
carrying the Torch
in Newcastle on
15 June: “It was
very exciting. It was
raining but there were
massive crowds all
along the streets.
Lots of children
wanted to touch it
and ask questions and it was so fun to be part of all
the excitement. When I actually had the flame I was
quite overwhelmed by it and honoured to be given the
chance to be part of the Olympics. Since I got back to
Hackney I have taken it to Kings Hall Leisure Centre
with me and shared it with the adults and children I
teach, I hope it helps get everyone keen to see the
flame in Hackney. I can’t wait to see the flame again.”

A day of two halves
Your guide to watching the parade and Olympic Torch
here will be large crowds lining
the parade route in the morning
and Torch route in the afternoon,
but if you plan ahead and choose
your spot, you could make a day of it and
watch both, while finding time to enjoy a
festival event in your area:
• The parade leaves Pitfield Street at
10.30am, so get there early for the
chance to see it take to the streets
• For the best view choose a spot close to
home where there are likely to be fewer

crowds. For the parade this will be at the
start of the route. For the Torch this will
be after it leaves Stoke Newington until
the end of Amhurst Road, and from
Morning Lane to Homerton Road
• The busiest areas will be where festival
events are taking place, especially Stoke
Newington Church Street, but also
Dalston, Hackney Central and Mabley
Green
• Once you have chosen your spot, stay
there until the parade or Torch have
passed. Don’t follow them
• Travel on foot, by bicycle, or using
the Overground as there will be delays
to buses (see below for transport
information)
• Stick to the pavement as there will be
motor vehicles on the road for both the
parade and Torch
• Check the local weather forecast on
the day and come prepared with water,
sunscreen, hat and/or rain protection
• Businesses along both routes will be
open as usual for the purchase of food
and drink
• Stewards will be posted along both
routes so listen to their advice and
follow instructions. Speak to a police
officer if you see anyone acting
suspiciously or any unattended bags or
belongings
• Follow Hackney twitter at:
#onehackneyfestival; or Torch
organisers at: #london2012torchrelay
for the latest updates.
Getting around
The best way to travel to the One Hackney Festival is
to choose a location close to your home and walk or cycle.
This is because there will be road
congestion and delays to buses
throughout the day close to the
route of the One Hackney
Festival Parade. In the
afternoon, there will be 15
minute rolling road closures
operating along the route of the
Olympic Torch.
Road closures, changes to
right and left turns and loading and
delivery restrictions will be in force from
9am to 5pm along the route of the parade
from Pitfield Street, in Shoreditch, to the
junction of Stoke Newington Church
Street and Green Lanes.
Stoke Newington Church Street will be
closed to traffic in both directions from
12noon to 5pm as it is likely to be very
busy with the parade coming through at
lunchtime, and the Torch arriving from
4.30pm.
Transport for London is keeping
bus changes to a minimum, but these
routes will be affected by delays at some
point during the day: 30, 38, 56, 67,
73, 76, 149, 236, 242, 243, 276, 277,
393, 476 and 488. Traffic will still flow
southbound along the A10 (Shoreditch
High Street, Kingsland Road and Stoke
Newington Road) so there will be
diversions to four routes northbound: 67,
76, 149 and 242. Route 76 will also have
a southbound diversion.
There will be no visitor parking in
operation close to Clissold Park or along
the A10 so do not attempt to visit any
One Hackney Festival event by car.
