Literary event of the moment took place on Monday evening at the Wanstead Tap, with a showing of To Kill A Mockingbird and then, at one minute past midnight, the selling of Harper Lee’s sequel, Go Set A Watchman. (Congratulations to Dan Clapton and the Newham Bookshop for teaming up in such a Wanstead-based highbrow way.)
Sealed boxes of #GoSetaWatchman being taken to @thewansteadtap. Can't open till 00.01. Meanwhile watch the film of TKMockingbird at 9.45.

Why is it called Wanstead Tap when it is in Forest Gate? Was going to go tonight, but don’t want to go to Forest Gate as don’t feel safe there.
He used to sell beer from markets and is based in Wanstead. The bar came later but kept the name.
Not sure why you don’t feel safe in Manor Park, on what is that bsaed on?
Oops, sorry,I meant Forest Gate? What is that fear based on?
If you sprint you could be out of Forest Gate in no time. If you sprint the right way.
You should feel safer in Forest Gate – more police stations there than in Wanstead…
