A point of view rarely heard about Wanstead – and therefore a contribution to the debate about the renovations to BBQ Express.
I've just come to realise that there is absolutely no fast food (KFC, McDonalds) available in Wanstead. What a nightmare this is… #hungry

This is just one of the subjects being discussed at Wanstead Talk – our new free-to-join forum for civilised conversation for the people of Wanstead.Â
Our regular photograph from the Wanstead Daily Photo blog.
6 November – Wanstead’s first frost of 2012. It is 16 days later than 2010, which was the earliest frost since records were kept (by this blog, beginning in 2009). Last year’s was on 25 November.
Our newly-launched Wanstead Magazine Club – which aims to encourage sharing of interesting magazines among the people of Wanstead – has had a good reception. Our initial distribution points – the newspaper carousel in Wanstead Library and a perspex box in the Larder – have seen new additions (Esquire, New Yorker, the Economist, various newspaper supplements and a copy of the Beano) for which we thank donors. You can read more about the noble scheme here.
Anyone who is keen to join in, please drop us a line at magazines@wansteadium.com with your postal address and we’ll send you a sheet of stickers to put on any magazines you share (see picture).
The traditional Wanstead Flats firework display was cancelled on Sunday because of the rain. Monday morning showed that the bad conditions had not been imaginary.
The third instalment of Wanstead Weekend Photo, taken from Geoff Wilkinson’s new WansteadDailyPhoto blog is part of a quiz. The question simply asks where was the photo taken?
