Dear neighboursWelcome to the second edition of E9 Magazine and a big thank you to everyone who commented on the first edition. It's great to get feedback and I'm delighted (and relieved) that all of it was positive, with many of you saying that the magazine has filled a gap and is a useful addition to E9 life. Please carry on sending your comments and let me know if there's anything you would particularly like to see in the magazine.

This month we have a great piece by Sonia Lambert on Victoria Park (p6), as well as an interview with fashion designer and E9er, Markus Lupfer. He was a joy to talk to ─ such a great person and clearly someone who is passionate about where he lives (p10).

April is a busy month and the calendar is full of great things to do. It includes Easter egg trails in Victoria Park and at Sutton House (p16, 32), music from the Hackney Festival Chorus (p16), drama at the Hackney Empire, as well as great arts events at The Yard, The White Building and the Elevator Gallery in Hackney Wick (p30).

Happy Easter.

Park life

I love Victoria Park. Everyone I know who lives here says the same thing. Somehow, it always makes us feel better. "Eastward Ho to Victoria Park. It is

rather a pretty place with water (though dirty) and lots of trees," said William Morris in a letter to his daughter, Jenny, in 1866. "Victoria Park is one of those things which no student of London life should miss seeing," said Charles Dickens, in the Dictionary of London, 1889.

Here are some things you (probably) didn't know about Victoria Park. I've taken most of them from A Pictorial History of Victoria Park, by Philip Mernick, published by the East London History Society in 1996. On their website (www.mernick.org.uk/elhs)they've also got a clever map which you can click on to see old views of the park as it once was.

A park is one of the best presents you could give to an area. It's interesting to read about the creation of Victoria Park after having gone through the whole

From ballerinas to bomb shelters, and pagodas to prisoners of war, Victoria Park has seen it all, says Sonia Lambert

Olympics thing, because lots of similar issues come up. Victoria Park was built to make East London a happier and healthier place ─ and to stop the tide of "emigration to the west". At the same time, houses were built around the edges of the park "to attract wealthier residents," although fewer were built than originally planned due to a lack of demand.

Local people grew impatient with the slow work and started to use the park long before it was officially opened. Less fencing and fewer security guards back then, I imagine.

There were several impressive features in the original park. A pagoda (now replicated) and a big "Moorish shelter," which was demolished after WW2.

Plenty of East Enders were without bathrooms ─ and officials were horrified by the number of people using the ornamental lake for a quick wash. So

Above, the 'new' bathing lake, circa 1905 and, right, the current view from the same point, Photoscourtesy of Philip Mernick, East London History Society www.mernick.org.uk/elhs


What’s onSpeaker's Corner. A hundred years ago, in 1914, the East London Suffragettes held a May Day rally in the park, and gatherings have taken place involving political groups of every persuasion, from the fascists (who provoked a few fights in the park during the 1930s) to the TUC.

The park has been such a big part of my life, especially since my children were born, and I wonder how many hours I've spent in those playgrounds, or by those lakes. I remember the

craziness and excitement of the huge firework displays, and the awful chill we felt on the day of the murder in 2003 of Margaret Muller, out jogging.

I sometimes feel my life sliding by watching all the runners, dog-walkers and families. But there's something about living in a crowded city, where private moments come together in such a public way, and all the thousands of people you feel and see around you, anonymous yet intimate. As a parent, there's the infectious magic of childhood, and the mystery it casts over a landscape ─ the allure of shrubbery, water, and trees to climb.There are the millions of personal memories that, together, seem to combine to make it such a special place. You can read more from Sonia in her blog:sonialambert.wordpress.com

large bathing ponds were created as a response to the demand. This must have been quite a sight in the first part of the 20th century. Apparently, 25,000 bathers were counted one summer morning before 8am. In the 1930s, the bathing ponds were closed and a lido was opened. There's also a model boat club which you still sometimes see; the club has been meeting in the park for over 100 years.

During WW1 the park was used for allotments and an anti-aircraft station. During WW2 there were

camps for German and Italian prisoners of war, and a large underground bomb shelter, which was hit and collapsed in 1940 with 15 deaths. The theory is that the noise of rockets being fired from the park also helped to trigger the disaster in Bethnal Green Tube in 1943, when 173 men, women and children were crushed to death as people hurried to get down the steps away from the bombs.

The park has seen some amazing performances. During WW2, ballerina Margot Fonteyn danced for the crowds, and there were huge tea dances and jazz orchestras throughout the '40s and '50s, followed by some epic rock concerts in the '70s. These days, Lovebox rattles our windows, and it feels as if every weekend over the summer there's a festival on.

The park was always a place of political and religious debate ─ it was built over Bonner's Fields, the site of some of the Chartist rallies. Preachers, orators, visionaries and eccentrics drew crowds every Sunday ─ it sounds like a scene to rival

My Hackney

What do you most value about your street?I love the street. It’s quiet; there are not that many streets like this in the East of London and I think that’s quite special. To have these amazing early Victorian houses still in tact and undamaged by the war, it’s really great.

Does the area influence your work?When you look at how the area has changed and you look at the people who live here ... it’s quite young and creative. That automatically influences you. I think people dress a little bit differently here, so yes, I think I am influenced. I mean Broadway Market has changed a lot and there is also Netil House where there are a lot of young companies and creative things going on.

What are you working on now?We’re working on the Spring/Summer 2015 collection now. It’s more like evolving my work; it’s very much like "what excites me at this moment, what's cool, what would be a little bit different?" I come from those angles and develop it bit by bit.

What makes you most proud?I think when you see someone wearing one of our pieces that’s exciting and makes me really happy. It doesn’t matter who it is. Sometime when I’m walking down the road and see someone wearing one of my outfits I get super excited. Sometimes I want to say something but then I get shy. It was quite funny, someone was wearing one of my jumpers at Bistrotheque a while ago and a friend said to the person, "it’s his jumper" and I went like woosh! (blushing).

In the bigger picture obviously Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Rihanna wearing my things. It’s quite incredible. Madonna wore our jumper on the cover of a single, so it’s physically there. It will never go away. People will remember and that is quite exciting.

Best coffee in these parts?Climpson’s. I love Climpson’s (Broadway Market).

Where do you eat out?The latest discovery I have is the bread shop, E5 Bakery, and it does great breakfast and lunch. I really love it there; it’s really cute. There’s also a really tiny café on Wilton Way (Wilton Way Café). Also Bistrotheque. I want to try out Oslo in Mare Street (new night club/bar in Hackney Central).

Markus Lupfer at home

Q&A with fashion designer and E9er Markus Lupfer

Markus grew up in Kisslegg, Germany, a tiny rural village close to the mountains. He knew from the age of 14 that he wanted to do fashion and to put on a show. The school taught knitting, so he did that. In a way, it was the start of his fashion career. He is now renowned in his field and Madonna, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, among others, have all worn his clothes.

What drew you to E9?It was time to move out of my studio in Aldgate. I came to live in my house in E9 through a friend, and eventually bought it with another friend.

Markus came to the UK from Germany in 1995 to study fashion, and on graduation was one of the lucky few to be featured in Vogue. He has lived in Hackney since 2001, and is a huge fan of his street, the creativity of Hackney, and the excitement of a constantly changing area. He talked to Julie Daniels about what Hackney means to him.


What’s the beset thing about E9?Two things. One is that you’re actually in the centre of the East, but the interesting East. Also you have Victoria Park; it’s open and relaxing. You can go for an amazing walk there, and the village is really cute, too. Little independent shops, not overcome by those bigger chains. I think it’s more characterful than other parts of London.

What do you do at the weekend?I go to Broadway Market on a Saturday. I do that a lot. Maybe Victoria Park sometimes. Otherwise I’m here in my house or working. Most of the time I work.

Is there anything you’d change about the area?No, I don’t think so. I think it’s perfect. A nice mix of exciting and interesting and affluent, but it's also like the traditional West End so it’s a really nice mix. I think it’s important to keep that. I like having both sides of London.

How does it compare to other areas of London you’ve lived in?I think this is more like a little neighbourhood. When I was in Aldgate it was more anonymous, but it was a more commercial area. Here it’s really good because of the nice neighbours and it also feels like a little corner, so it's a bit more relaxed.

What’s Hackney’s best-kept secret?I love Donlon's, the little bookshop on Broadway Market. He finds books which are either out of print, or are quite rare. He really does try to find different things.

Where do you go to chill out?It’s either here in my garden or in the park. I think more Victoria Park than London Fields.

If E9 were human, what sort of person would it be?Quite eccentric. Defintely someone with character, that’s for sure. Who could that be? Maybe someone like Paloma Faith. She’s a character, and a bit difffertent, so yes, definitely her.

E9 in a word?Creative.

A walk on the wild sideMany of you will have visited our local wild space, Hackney Marshes, but here's a new take on the experience.Local artist R M Sánchez-Camus has produced an audio tour with a difference.This highly unusual project takes you on a walking tour through geography and mythology, "an unfamiliar journey through familiar territory". Either streamed or downloadable, it's a 28-minute walking tour for one person to listen to over headphones. It begins on the corner of Millfields Road and Mandeville Street on the edge of the marshes and guides the listener on a specified route, with an invitation to "view the world through fresh eyes and imagine urban surroundings as they once were, are, and could be."

Lost and aloneNear St Agnes Gate, Victoria Park. A lonely, dusty drinking fountain. It's been standing there a while now, in fact since the heady days of the 2012 Olympic preparations. While the rest of the park was being kitted out for the great event, this lonely fountain was forgotten, left parched and neglected.

Come on, LBTH. Take pity on the joggers, walkers and other thirsty park-goers. Turn on the water supply!

What to eat

This is the ideal dish for a Thursday night. I don't know about you, but Thursdays

to me mean it's almost the weekend, but not quite weekend enough to give in to the urge for a take-away curry. So I'm looking for something that's easy to cook, quick to make, and packs a punch in the flavour department.

If you like fast food, and by that I mean something that's healthy, tasty and can be prepared in a flash, then this is definitely for you.

But first the disclaimer. Yes, I know I said one pot, but it's actually two. There is the tiny matter of the saucepan for cooking the potatoes in, but who's going to quibble?

Buy some proper chorizo for this dish. I've tried lots of different

types, and good quality chorizo is worth paying for. It adds so much more flavour and will keep its shape and not disintegrate in the cooking.Try to avoid the cheaper supermarket variety and pick up some good stuff from the local deli.

As for red-skinned potatoes, the real purpose is to add colour; it's a pleasing contrast between the white insides and the red skins. But if it's late, you're tired and hungry, and stopping off at the supermarket in search of

the reds isn't top of your to-do list, then go for what you have on the vegetable rack. The flavour will be just as good.

Cod is a great fish to use in the stew, but haddock or pollock are equally good. Try to buy fillets with the skin on so the fish doesn't fall apart when you're scooping it out. To serve, use a large slotted spoon if you have one, which picks up the fish nicely, as well as some of the stew.


Easter egg workshop

Wonderland Ceramics is owned and run by Isabelle Ces. Originally from Burgundy in France, she and her Kiwi husband, Jeremy, moved to London in 2001. She opened her shop in 2012.

There's a lot going on at Wonderland Ceramics, and it caters not only to children, but to adults, too. You can paint during one

of Isabelle's evening sessions, you can meet up with the NCT, you can learn how to clay sculpt with students from Central Saint Martin's, to name but a few activities.There's also great coffee from Londinium, as well as cakes, paninis, and pancakes.

This Easter, kids can indulge in Wonderland's Easter egg decorating workshop, where they can learn how to make the eggs from clay, then paint them freestyle or using stencils.

The workshop is on Sunday, 13 April at 1pm (please book by phone or email if you want to attend this), but you can call in at any other time during the Easter break if you can't make the workshop date. Last painting day, though, is Tips for egg-decorating at home

What you'll need:

Hard-boiled eggs, egg carton to dry out the eggs, craft paints, variety of brushes, glue, glitter, egg cups as paint holders, a plastic beaker of water.

Paint half the egg with desired colour. Leave for about half an hour in the egg carton to dry, then paint the rest. Using different brushes for each colour, paint your designs. You can add polka dots, stripes, Easter scenes, faces, let your imagination go wild.

Style ideas:Sponges: to add interesting designs; perhaps

The long stretch of Easter holidays is ahead of us, but there are lots of local activities to keep the children busy, including an egg decorating workshop at Wonderland Ceramics

Local business focus ─ A G Price

AG Price the florist goes back a long way; one hundred and eighty years, to be precise. But with stylish, hand-painted signage, an

elegant canopy and beautiful flower arrangements outside the shop, it's bang up-to-date in the style department. So much so that it stands out from many of the other shops on Well Street, where some, it has to be said, are in need of a little TLC.

Jo Price, who runs the business now, showed me the family photos, some of which are on display in the shop window, and pointed to Thomas Eldridge (pictured below, centre). His father, Henry, started the business in 1834 as a market stall. His granddaughter Cissy (below, left) took the business to the next level by opening the family's first shop in Barnabus Road, Homerton, The business name continued as Eldridge until 1974, when Jo's dad, who married into the family, took over and opened the Well Street shop.

Despite growing up surrounded by flowers, floristry wasn't the first thing on Jo's mind as a child. "I wanted to be a missionary in Africa, but I wasn't allowed," she says. She missed her calling, perhaps, but it looks like her children have decided to follow their dreams and take different career paths, which means that, sadly, Jo's will be the last generation to run the family business. "The kids didn't want to take over. It's hard to run a business now. You have to work so many hours and the business rates are astronomical."

A G Price has come a long way since the days when the variety of flowers on offer ran from chrysanthemums to carnations. The sky's the limit on the variety available, and cards, chocolates, gift arrangements, including wines, champagne and spirits, along with Yankie Candles and Vera Wang wedding flowers are the order of the day. Plus, there's a wide range of garden plants.

The best thing about being in Well Street? "It's like a small village ─ and with so many nationalities. It's a small, friendly community. We've been here all my life and I love it."

Jo Price's family has been selling flowers since 1834 and their shop is a Hackney institution. She talked to Julie Daniels about how it all began

Beautiful flowers and gifts for every occasion


A dog's life

Heavy breathing, straining, huffing, puffing, strange glares from onlookers, awkward moments when you get dragged somewhere

you shouldn’t be. Night at the local disco? Nope, just a walk to your local park with your beloved Fido. So, what is this pulling obsession and how on earth do we stop it?

Dogs do what is rewarding or reinforcing to them. They don’t sit up at night plotting how to take over the world, they merely do what benefits them. Pulling on the lead is reinforcing because it gets them where they want to go ... faster.

It's as simple as that. Every time your dog pulls you to a tree to have a pee, pulls you down the path to get to the gate, pulls you to get to the park, pulls you because he wants to eat that chip someone dropped on the floor, the dog is being rewarded for pulling. The trick is to make sure you never reward your dog for pulling. Easy. Or is it?

Loose-lead walking is the hardest skill to master, as it takes huge commitment to achieve. Every time there is even a slight tension on the lead you

need to ensure you stop and don’t reward your dog by going forward. In fact, you should to do the opposite. You should to go backwards, or give the dog penalty steps for pulling. The dog will soon learn that dragging you down the street actually delays the reward. The other thing you have to do is reward the dog with treats for walking by your side.

At East London Dog Training, we teach loose-lead walking by starting off on a circle. Historically, dogs have been taught to walk on the left-hand side. This was a fallout from the Army where dogs had to walk on the left due to the rifle being carried on the right. However, unless you have the need to carry a rifle down the high street with your Yorkshire terrier in tow, this really isn’t quite so important. However, for the benefit of this exercise we are going to assume that your dog is walking on the left.

Start by walking in a circle, approximately 15 feet across. If your dog is on the left, you will walk in a right-hand circle and vice versa if your dog walks in the right.

Is your dog on the pull? Then it's time to teach him some manners, says Kamal Fernandez

Have your lead loose and walk slowly at first. Your dog will probably wander aimlessly in the opposite direction to you, but because you are walking in a circle away from your dog he will have to follow you.

As soon as the dog looks at you or causes the lead to go loose, reward him from your left side, where you would like him to remain.At first, reward often, every couple of steps or so.You are rewarding your dog frequently with tiny treats, so essentially you are drip-feeding treats for walking and remaining at your side.

Once your dog walks by your side in a circle, then venture in a straight line. If he pulls, go off on your circle away from your dog again until he walks by your side, reward and carry on.

Loose-lead walking is the most time-consuming behavior to train. It requires an enormous amount of commitment and dedication. Every time your dog pulls you have to ensure you don’t reward him, and when he keeps the lead loose you need to reward that with food or venturing forward.

I totally appreciate that many people don’t have the time to commit to this, so I suggest one particular product that will help.

Dog training has evolved from when I first started and the only options to stop a dog pulling were a check chain or a collar ─ neither of which are the best tools for various reasons. I don't use check chains to train dogs at all now, but I do use head collars. They are a brilliant invention which can

give you instant control and support while you teach your dog to walk on a loose lead.

Go softly, though. Don’t just slap the head collar on your dog and take him for a walk, as the chances are he will struggle and hate wearing it. Use treats to teach your dog to accept the head collar and, at first, use it around the home. Once

the dog is comfortable wearing it you can venture outside.

Training is all about putting the time in. Training is a daily commitment and the more work and time you invest, the more likely you are to end up with a pleasant member of the family, rather then a crazy canine with no manners.

Educate your dog, and he will repay you tenfold.

Kamal Fernandez is a professional dog trainer and has trained dogs for over 20 years, having competed at Crufts, and all over the UK. He is also a Championship Obedience judge at Crufts. He uses reward-based methods to teach dogs of all breeds everything from domestic manners to competitions and film work. For information, go to the website: www.eastlondondogtraining.co.uk

Hackney bites

Let’s leave now and go somewhere else!" These were the first words spoken by my father-in-law after

we walked into Ombra Bar and Restaurant. You see, he doesn’t do dining with background music.

I was a bit taken aback. We had prepared him for this and booked a table for lunch.The pre-warning involved a description of those infamous chairs which, if you’ve visited before, you’ll know what I’m talking about. For those who haven’t, they are constructed out of plywood, where form hasn’t followed function ... they are way too tall, you can’t fit your legs under the

table and whichever way you sit there is no comfort level, either physically or mentally. They make you feel like the outsider at your own meal. Although, if you're curious, you’ll have to go quick to see them now, as I’ve noticed they have almost disappeared.

Other than that, it’s a great place. We’d already been there a few times ourselves; you don’t have to sit on those chairs and the food is really good. I thought it would be a nice change take my father-in-law somewhere different from our usual "go-to" restaurant (which, if you’re interested, is St John’s), and we can walk there.

OmbraThis month's great place to eat ...

“


cosmopolitan friends to experience it first hand by having his birthday lunch there.

It’s great. We feel lucky to have such a place so near that is so authentically local.

But he was adamant. You see, Harryloves Hackney and our "East End edge". But when he’s not staying with us, he stays at The Garrick, so you’ll appreciate that his idea of edgy isn't necessarily a local's idea of edgy.

Well, it wasn’t looking good, until he noticed the chalked-up menu. That stopped him in his tracks. Declaring that it was a menu from a chef that clearly knew his stuff and how on earth could this small local restaurant be here serving local Venetian food.

One Campari later, Harry was loving it, shaking the chef‘s hand across the bar and asking him how he had come by such authentic ingredients in London. The chef, Andrea, is very much the centre of the restaurant as he works in a raised kitchen behind the bar like the captain of his galleon ... not so much Jack Sparrow more of a Red Rackham.

The staff are lovely there, it’s relaxed and hassle-free. They go with the flow and it’s best if you do, too. So with the music turned low we all sat down.

The menu is small and regularly changes. The food does not let the menu down; it’s unusual yet familiar and very good quality. Our favourites are the Mortadella, hams and Burrata, which are absolutely delicious.We love the fresh pasta, which you can watch them make. We regularly order the kale and mushroom lasagne, bucatini with a spicy ragu, or lamb chops with polenta.The servings are generous, so if you have room for pudding try out the tiramasu if it’s on the menu, or a coffee and sharing a chocolate salami is pretty nice.

From that day on every time Harry stays we go there, even if it’s for a quick Aperol in the evening sun outside. He always has a chat to the chef and he even decided to get his

Hackney bites

So if you haven’t been, give it a try. Even if it's only for one of their large and flavoursome aperitifs outside in the sun.

Oh yes, before I forget, I know Ombra is in E2 but it is literally on the other side of the canal to E9, so I think, once again, we can just about count it in.

How to do a basic push-up:

A push-up (or press-up) is a classic exercise that has remained a central pillar of training for decades because it can be done with no equipment and gets great results.

You can make a real difference to your chest, arms and shoulders with push-ups. It builds muscular endurance, and is also an exercise to strengthen your core.

1) Start on your toes and hands. Have your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Feet can be together or hip-width apart.

2) Brace your abs. Your body should be in a straight line between your head and heels.

3) Lower your chest to just above the floor by bending your arms. Your elbows should point slightly backwards. Breathe in on the way down.

4) Press back up powerfully; breathe out on the way up.

5) If you need to make it easier, work on your knees. Try and keep your body in a straight line between your knees and head.

You can learn how to do a perfect push-up at our circuit training and boot camp classes. Unlike our boot camp teacher (pictured), the rucksack is optional.

Arts round-up

Exploring more of Hackney Wick you'll find The Yard Theatre, mentioned in this magazine last month. It's another gem that can't be missed.

Converted from the shell of an old warehouse, the building is split into two sections ─ a 110-seat amphitheatre, and a bar area. The theatre showcases contemporary performances designed to answer those age-old questions of who we are, why we are here and where we are going, as well as providing a quaint open mic night on a Wednesday, offering a stage for local musicians to earn some pennies for their dinner. It has a jam-packed schedule throughout April, so be sure to check out their website: www.theyardtheatre.co.uk

Finally, the Elevator Gallery is an example of the community-based, collective spirit that seems to surround the Hackney art scene these days. Located above Mother Studios, which provides unit spaces for artists, whatever stage of their career, the gallery is the home of modern, thought-provoking exhibitions, as well as dabbling in live art, cinema and musical performances. www.motherstudios.co.uk

These are just a small number of the venues to be found within ten minutes walk of Hackney Wick station (or 20 minutes from Victoria Park village).

More information about specifics events, and exhibitions, can be found at www.hackneywicked.co.uk

If I had been asked four years ago, when choosing my university, what made me pick the one I did, I would have answered with one word

─ culture. Originally hailing from Plymouth, I had been starved of the cultural nourishment that most Londoners take for granted.

Arriving naïve and starry eyed, I soon learnt that the best way to experience culture in a city is simply to spend time walking the streets. Experience has taught me that there's nowhere better to take in the rich diversity of the capital than the E9 area of Hackney.

The first port of call for any seeker of art should be The White Building, located five minutes from Hackney Wick station for those of you coming from further afield. With its scenic canal-side location, this space is funded by the London Legacy Development Corporation ─ a monument to London's Olympic legacy. The White Building is predominately focused on sustainable art and technology, and it has a residency programme to provide emerging artists with a platform on which to display their work internationally.

April looks to be an exciting month as the venue hosts Zach Blas and his lecture How to Become Informatically Opaque, a study on mask-making, surveillance and "queer" politics. With a bar and kitchen that provides top-notch craft beer and pizza, this is an event not to be missed. www.thewhitebuilding.org.uk

Often, the best way to discover the capital's diversity is to walk the streets. Steven Frost did just that and found culture, E9-style


A safe pair of hands

Nanny Network was the first nanny agency in East London. It offers reliable and flexible childcare to busy Hackney parents

Lucia Borraccino knows Hackney well and speaks with authority about the people who live here and the sort of childcare they need.

After graduation, she came home to Hackney and worked as a nanny, soon becoming inundated with work and passing on some of it to others, before deciding to set up her own agency.

Nanny Network provides permanent nannies, but the majority of its clients want a more flexible service. Parents who approach Lucia for childcare mostly work in the film and media industries, as well as legal or other professional areas, and work long, irregular hours. A standard nursery situation won't work for them.

What sort of person works for Nanny Network? "Capable, mature, creative, someone with language skills," says Lucia, "as well as being someone who is able to engage very well with the children. We look for nannies who can make a child laugh, interact with them, and are polite, reliable, charming and educated."

What makes Nanny Network different is that they are very strict about who they take on. "We're very local," says Lucia. "Many agencies are based in Central London ─ so with us you'll get a nanny who knows the area, may live here and has certainly worked here."

Nanny Network provides permanent, temporary and ad hoc nannies to fit a family's needs. They also offer everything from babysitting, to emergency nanny and babysitting services. They can also give paediatric first aid training to parents. To sum up Nanny Network in a word? "Quality," says Lucia.

We connect parents with local childcare.

We offer a range of services such as a nanny for the daytime or an evening babysitter.

All of the staff on our books have CRB/DBS certificates and first aid

training.

Our staff are experienced, capable, professional, educated, friendly, polite, reliable and come with glowing references.

We are based in Hackney and we are more than happy to answer any

questions you may have, just give us a call.
