Day 14: Hackney Hijinks

HACKNEY

Hackney Central Library

6.15 pm

6 km from Covent Garden

After the frenetic show business razzmatazz of Forest Gate it was good to get back to the small intimate village atmosphere of Central Hackney. There I was greeted by select audience drawn from the elite Hackney reading group - you asked lots of questions that I hadn't been asked before.

Also thanks to Lydia and Monica (below) the best coffee I've had so far.

Or I may have written their names down wrong in which case let me know.

But the quiet of this village idyll must give way tomorrow to the tangled arcology they call the Barbican Centre!
