STOKE NEWINGTON 132 GREEN LANES WELCOME VILLAGE LIFE, IN THE CITY There are very few places in London offering the same level of charm, character and charisma as Stoke Newington. Situated in the North East of the capital N16 has a distinct village feel, and tucked away in one of the area‘s most desirable locations sits Green Lanes. At approximately 7.5 miles from end to end, Green Lanes is one of the longest streets in the city, connecting Islington, Newington Green and Finsbury Park. Look a little further and you’ll find 132, a hidden gem situated along the western edge of Clissold Park. Comprising of 30 apartments and based at the heart of an area fast becoming the epicenter of cool, 132 embraces sustainable living. Designed to reduce carbon emissions and energy demands the development is an exciting beacon for future London living.

This collection of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom layouts combine traditional design and the latest in sustainable technologies to create truly modern and comfortable homes in one of London’s most sought after postcodes. CGI image for illustrative purposes only. 4 5 132 GREEN LANES N16 LIFE FIND INSPIRATION ROUND EVERY CORNER Stoke Newington’s hugely diverse population helps to create an eclectic style and a relaxed, enriched atmosphere. In recent years the area has developed a reputation as ‘up and coming’ thanks in part to its regular pop-up projects, an organic farmers’ market and car boot fairs devoted to vintage goods. The strong presence of independent business in the area also adds to much of N16’s success, making it a truly distinctive part of the capital. From the sprawling greenery of Clissold Park to the mysterious yet romantic Abney Park cemetery, Stoke Newington offers the opportunity for inspiration at every turn. 6 7 132 GREEN LANES PARK LIFE CLISSOLD PARK IS ONE OF HACKNEY’S BEST- LOVED GREEN SPACES. The former country house estate has a rich history and was first opened to the public in 1889. It has since been recognised as one of the finest green spaces in the country. With clear-cut paths leading to Clissold’s seven gates, cyclists and joggers can use the bark-strewn athletics track circling the park, whilst those in search of a leisurely stroll can experience the tranquillity of two swan-filled ponds. Picturesque views of the mid-Victorian Saint Mary’s Church, with its 250-foot steeple, add further allure to this recreational oasis. Nestled in its centre, the park also has a mini-zoo. Rabbits, chickens, goats and deer are housed next door to a butterfly tunnel and aviary. For light refreshments, head to Clissold House’s newly refurbished café. 8 9 132 GREEN LANES HEALTHY LIVING CLEAN LIVING AND VAST OPEN SPACE Even with city living at your fingertips, Stoke Newington provides an urban village lifestyle. Through its provision of vast open spaces, such as Clissold Park, the opportunity for adventure is never too far away. Local gyms, swimming pools and a climbing centre provide alternatives should the weather turn. Organic Farmers’ Markets and independent grocers, bakers and butchers highlight a traditional side of N16, dedicated to supporting local business. Providing fresh seasonal produce, local identities stand strong here with healthy living remaining at their core. 10 11 132 GREEN LANES HUSTLE & BUSTLE STOKEY’S HEARTBEAT IS FULL OF SECRETS AND SURPRISES The majority of shops lining Church Street are noteworthy for their diversity and quality, with independent vintage boutiques, record shops and cafés all adding to ‘Stokey’s’ overall indie credentials. Full of local secrets and endearing surprises, when the sun shines you’ll be hard pushed to find a more pleasant thoroughfare in the capital. Browse to your heart’s content or shop ‘til you drop; Church Street is the place to be. 12 13 132 GREEN LANES AFTER HOURS THERE’S PLENTY OF FOOD FOR THOUGHT On any given weekend you can easily stumble upon an after-dark haunt along Church Street. Several vibrant bars such as The Lion and The Drop stay open late, whilst restaurants Il Bacio, Homa and Blue Legume provide interesting options should you fancy a bite to eat. With no shortage of gastro pubs in Stoke Newington you won’t have to walk far to find a traditional English roast. The Londesborough, The Rose & Crown and The Jolly Butcher all sell vast selections of real ale, cider and fine wine, perfect to help wash down your Sunday lunch. 14 15 132 GREEN LANES Finsbury Park d R s er st Si STOKE NEWINGTON n ve Rd Abney Park Se nor ALL WITHIN Ma Cemetery FINSBURY PARK 43 28 42 39 41 45 23 36 8 25 37 35 20 3 REACH 24 2 32 9 33 11 10 17 6 12 29 G 19 27 1 r 34 e 15 e 30 n 46 Clissold Park 7 L t S a h n rc e u 26 h C n to g 21 in ew ARSENAL N e RECTORY RD 22 ok THE IDEAL LOCATION TO EXPLORE THE CITY St t S 5 h g i H Being placed near to wider transport links ensures that Stoke Newington is the ideal n o t g n location from which to enjoy the capital.

To date we have produced 41 weekly 59-minute radio show, which broadcast every Wednesday at 11am. Programmes are transmitted through Resonance 104.4FM, played out on their online radio player, and available for ongoing playback through Mixcloud. We enabled 178 local people to participate in the production of the show in the first series and so far, 181 people in the second series – these included the production team, feature makers, feature contributors, editors, and interviewees – local artists and creatives, community activists, volunteers, service users and experts such as representatives from Local Government, GPs, faith leaders, advisors, and community champions.

We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

    Travel 8 London City Guide 8 ISLINGTON and the NORTH

    Travel 8 London, the North, Islington Travel 8 leads to the north of London where farmers, workers, soldiers and ordinary people lived. Tourist usually are interested in monuments, but… monuments don’t say anything about ordinary people. Monuments are similar everywhere, a copy of each other indeed, because they are the wish of the power. Power been the same everywhere in this world. There are no monuments dedicated to ordinary people. Heredity of ordinary people was cancelled on the course of the years. Then, how to find out about life of ordinary people. The only way is to visit the remains, if they can be found. With the industrialisation, 1850 on, people moved from the north of UK to find a job in London. They settled where the trains stopped, in Islington, or in the north and east of London. Travel 8 will lead you to these places, where workers and industries were. Travel London 8, ISLINGTON and the NORTH Visiting the north of London is possible to imagine how London was at the time of the 1850’s first industrialisation. Here are beautiful places, with many, many interesting things to discover. Travel 8 starts in Islington, where you reach it with the Tube at Angel Underground Station. Outside the station turn on the right, towards Islington Town. Here you find the monument to Hugh Myddelton, the man that in 1613 had the idea to create an aqueduct for selling fresh water to Londoners. Water came only from the North, (this was the reason why the Romains founded London on the north shore of the Thames).
