This gas holder is one of the millions of things I love about East London - they need to be saved 🌐

*IMPORTANT POST* We have just two days to appeal to Tower Hamlets Council to save the majestic, historic gasholders that sit alongside Oval Space. They're under threat of demolition, to make way for soulless new build apartments. Please take a moment to sign this petition from the East End Waterway Group. Thank you. https://residents-first.co.uk/east-end-waterway-group/petition-gas-holders/

Winter's coming. Party your way through the colder months with damn good booze and don't ever leave the house for anything. Hopt in Shoreditch are making this whole concept far more achievable. The sell awesome artisan alcohol from their Boxpark Shoreditch unit and THEY DELIVER TOO. Sweet mother of hedonism. Come at us, Winter.

Alcohol delivery. It’s a thing of beauty. Well, now it is, anyway - thanks to Hopt in Shoreditch. Before they came along and re-invented the concept of booze on the move, my only other ‘experience’ of getting liquor quicker was way more Picasso, than Rembrandt...
