An East London Blogging Special


Open Dalston
Local issues and preservation are the meat and drink of Open Dalston. At time of posting they have a link to a petition protesting Hackney Councils total demolition of Georgian period Dalston Terrace.  Visit opendalston.blogspot.co.uk
Spitalfields Life


Culture, heritage and history. Spitalfields has them in spades. Since 2009 Spitalfields Life has covered everything from Ghost Stories to a Bunny Girls’ reunion party. An essential London read, you can find it here: spitalfieldslife.com
The East End Preservation Society


And we’ll round off with a spot of micro blogging from the East London Preservation Society, whose Facebook Page can be found here: www.facebook.com/EastEndPSociety. Here at The Daily Constitutional we endeavour to circulate all of their latest news – they do great work trying to save historic East London from insensitive redevelopment –  but what they could really do with is your support. Follow the link above and click “like” and sign-up to their newsletter… and share with all your friends, please.
