Where do Cranbrook locals go?
Le Petit Corner
Le Petit Corner is my absolute fave café in the Bushwood end of Leytonstone. It's Bugaboo central, but the kids can play downstairs, so upstairs is chilled and they have a secluded garden. Top toasties and apple tart and just started doing select gourmet food evenings, perfect for date night!Read more
The Luna Lounge
This music venue hosts live music nights on two levels. Love the summer with the doors open, view of the church and gorgeous live jazz. Also they do rock and blues, and open mic nights. But for me, to have a cracking jazz venue minutes from my front door is the best.Read more

Did you know?
"Vinegar Alley behind Saint Mary's Church, Walthamstow is so called because local people used vinegar to sanitise the plague pits that were dug around here."
Perfect for commuters, Leytonstone is only five stops on the Central line from London Liverpool Street.

The annual festive get-together with the Friends of Valentines Mansion, whose members support the preservation and improvement of Valentines Mansion, Gardens and Park.

Robert Cervera, Hiddenware
We spend so much of our lives online via our smartphones, computers, televisions, and gaming consoles, but do we ever consider the vast physical infrastructures that underpin our digital experiences? The miles of undersea cables, the massive data centres, the mountains of cooling circuits, concrete and metal. In Hiddenware, artist Robert Cervera seeks to make visible this hidden materiality, inviting us to reconsider our relationship to the virtual world. Robert worked with local video gamers and musicians to co-create audiovisual performances, culminating in an exhibition that bridges sculpture, video, music and live streaming in the gallery. Includes live performances on Tue 14 Oct 2025, 7pm, and Sat 31 Jan & Sat 21 Mar 2026, 4 – 7pmRead more
