Le Querce
The finest Italian restaurant I have ever been to, with a varied and fresh menu that caters for everyone from meat eaters to vegans and all in between without seeming to try! I book for anniversaries, birthdays, visits from friends - any excuse to attend the best restaurant I know of. It may not look particularly salubrious, but it is child-friendly by day and romantically candle-lit by night. I cannot recommend it highly enough!Read more
Mudchute Park and Farm
An excellent activity for children and adults alike. The farm has a host of animals that you can feed and the park is an oasis of calm just moments from the businesses in Canary Wharf. You can also book horse riding lessons at the stables, admire the allotments or enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast at the farm kitchen.Read more

"In 1848 at the Priory Ground, Algernon Road, a cricket match held - a team of one legged men against a team of one armed men!"

Our headliner is the great Wassie One, who is a long-time stalwart of the London Roots Reggae scene. Wassie always plays up a storm. Whether in a full, traditional Soundsystem contexts, or in club environments, he can be relied upon to produce the goods every time. The mighty Wassie spins a rich and wide spectrum of music of Jamaican origin, from Ska and Rocksteady “Gram Favourites”, to the hardest Roots Reggae.

The vibrant Antonella exudes positive vibes and can be relied upon to grace us with a scintillating set, presented with style. She’s with us every month, but this’ll be her first selection - looking forward to it. She’ll be followed by more of the semi live action, that The Club is famous for. Resident selector Soft Wax will be spinnin’ the rhythms, on the wheels of steel. On the mic there will be toasting and singjay action, live and direct, from the mighty Doc Murdoc.
