I’ve been hearing bits and pieces about this through work, but I’ve been doing a wee bit more digging, so thought I’d share it here. (And I have a bit of an interest, since I was working in the IBC during the […]
Martin started the forum topic 57-61 Broadway Market – new restaurant in the group Hackney planning application watch 9 years, 6 months ago

If, like me, you were a little confused about why the site’s in Tower Hamlets; the boundary does a bit of a squiggle around Goldsmith’s Row:

When I cycled up there yesterday, they were in the middle of resurfacing it – and removing the speed bumps. Hurrah!
