What's on in Wanstead

Greater London, England

Wanstead sits right on the edge of London, where the greenery meets the city and you can still feel a bit of village life. The Bull has been serving up good food and live music for years, while the local park offers a perfect spot to watch the clouds drift by or just sit with a cuppa. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and there are always plenty of community events keeping things lively. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you don't have to hunt across the capital for your Saturday night plans.
