#YouAintNoMuslimBruv proud to be a Londoner. Grew up in Wanstead, grandparents lived in Leytonstone. Thoughts with the poor victim

Next door Wanstead's reaction to Leytonstone man is to all come onto the High St in a show of solidarity. Business as usual. @SkyNews

It’s apparently Cyber Monday when online purchases peak. If it’s not too much trouble, and if you wouldn’t mind, Wansteadium should be very grateful if you would make any purchases through Amazon by clicking the box below first. It means that Amazon gives Wansteadium a small cut at no cost to you, which helps fund our web hosting costs. Thank you (and thanks again to those who have already done this).

Wanstead’s growing status as a “go-to” filmset for adverts continues… The latest ad to do the E11 thing was shot in the playground on Christ Church green last month – you can definitely catch a couple of brief glimpses if you look carefully. Bravo to Nicola Jarratt from the Wanstead Playground Association for having the nerve to ask the advertiser (Richmond Sausages) if they fancied making a donation to their fundraising.

Previously in Wanstead On Film…

Who can forget the the [now closed] laundrette?

 

 

Or the barbers’ shop…?

 

 

To say nothing of Petty Son and Prestwich board on BBC Three’s Together.

 

 

@Wansteadium My dog just found some raw liver in the forest behind memorial green. Hoping it's not got rat poison in it. Please share.

Wanstead suddenly feels like Inspector Morse territory… https://t.co/gHENjCWQUv

@Wansteadium Thanks. We walk there everyday so it's new. And the place is teeming with rats thanks to crazy bread lady.

Incident on the High Street on Saturday morning. Quick response from Tesco on Twitter though…

Commotion in Wanstead. @Tesco van backing into a car and pushing it 2m down the street @Wansteadium No injuries pic.twitter.com/YFiO6Gh8U3

@MichaelDuffell Oh gosh I am sorry to see this Michael. If you can contact Well Driven, they will be able to address this. (1)

— Tesco (@Tesco) November 28, 2015

@Tesco well it wasn't my car so can't really do much. It was occupied at the time too. Make sure your driver reports it.

@MichaelDuffell Thank you for letting us know! Kind Regards – Kirsty.

A festive but uneventful lighting-up this year.

Oh Wanstead Christmas tree, what’s happened to your power to engage and surprise? No row over funding? No anti-climactic fuse box blow? Not even any (or at least not many) disparaging “it looks like a badger” comments??

You’ve changed.
