"In 1699, Parliament decreed that Billingsgate Market would be a free and open market for all types of fish...except for eels! Eels were only to be sold by the Dutch fishermen on the Thames, a nod of gratitude to them as they helped to feed people during the Great Fire of London."
'Robert' the steam engine was restored for the 2012 Olympics and has become a permanent fixture outside Stratford Station.

What locals say about E7
“Lovely community spirit, small village feel in the big city!”
Krish
“Green Street is the buzzing multicultural heart of Forest Gate. Great fun to live here, with excellent transport links. I have an apartment with my own garden at an affordable price. Love it!”
Jennifer
“I live in the Central Park area of Upton Park, one of the last affordable places left in London, but I feel not for long! Tree lined streets with Victorian houses and lots of local parks all within a stones throw from the city. I'm really loving living here. To be able to afford a house with a garden (which is never heard of in London) I think this is one of London best kept secrets! And with the West Ham development on the horizon bringing new restaurants parks and shops this area will just get better!”

The set list will feature classic tracks from the above bands plus a carefully curated selection of songs from several of the other iconic artists from the era to make this the ultimate NWOBHM show.
