Some useful details for this weekend’s activities. More events too in the Wanstead Events Calendar.
Do send any photos you might take to info@wansteadium.com.
Flypast
As usual Wanstead will get a ringside seat for the flypast on Thursday morning as the aircraft come low to fly over central London. They are expected after 12.50, and St Mary’s church is holding a viewing party.
Beacon
The highest point in Redbridge is at the Redbridge Cycling Centre, so that is where our corporate beacon will be lit. We don’t think it will be visible from Wanstead, though we may be wrong, and beacons may be visible towards the south for anyone with views in that direction. The beacon will be lit at 9.45pm.
Street parties
These are the days and times of Wanstead street parties over the next few days. Hopefully the weather forecast will improve for the weekend.

Just back from St Mary’s. Fabulous views, couldn’t have chosen better to watch the fly past. Incredible turn out too, following so much cynicism. The event was great, well done Wanstead Parish, what a gem this church is, how lucky we are to have it in our community.
Thank you for this! I was trying to figure out how to find out about the street parties, but couldn’t find it myself.
