More about Beckton

Greater London, England

Beckton sits right on the edge of London where the river meets the road and the local calendar never really stops turning. St Mark's Community Centre has been hosting everything from choir rehearsals to community talks for years without ever needing a second wind. It is a place where neighbours actually know each other's names and what's coming up next week. There are always plenty of options if you want to stretch your legs or just sit back and watch the world go by nearby. We keep all the local notices in one spot so you don't have to hunt through a dozen different websites on a Saturday morning. It really is that simple to find out what's going on around here.
