Dist:0.2km<br/>This hoarding is at Dalston Lane, and behind it is the site for the new Dalston Junction Station. The poster has been "adapted" by persons unknown, and they have added many "comments" that make clear their opposition to local development plans. Whether you agree with their sentiments and methods or not, it is clear that this area will change enormously with the extension of the new East London Line and the associated redevelopment. Some of the "amendments" will be difficult to read at this size, but some can easily be made out.

Dist:0.2km<br/>For four years 1964-68 the writers Barry Took and Marty Feldman produced some of the greatest Radio Comedy ever in the form of Round The Horne. One of the segments of the show was often “Radio Balls Pond Road” where the double entendres flowed freely. In fact most people's Honi Soit had never been so Mal Y Pensed! Its fame was “crowed from John O’Groats near the town of Wick to the horse meat shop in the Balls Pond Road”, of which there is no sign today. The Over Eighties Nudist Leapfrog Team are also absent from this shot of the Balls Pond Road looking eastward near the A10. However you get two Routemasters as a bonus, feast your eyes on them while you can; they will soon be gone forever.

Dist:0.2km<br/>I couldn't get to the right position to get a decent shot but nonetheless wished to show the side of the building and the graffiti on the roof -- which must have been written at some considerable risk to the perpetrators!

Dist:0.2km<br/>This building is probably going to be demolished as the area is being redeveloped. Protesters have erected various notices and banners, and on the roof have painted in large white letters : HACKNEY NOT FOR SALE, WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Metropolitan Hospital, which had been founded in 1836 for homeless and destitute persons, moved to this building in 1885. The building became redundant in 1977 and is now occupied by commercial concerns.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is a very attractive and select area of London, where traffic-calming measures have kept out rat runners. Many of the large houses are still in single-family occupation, and all are well-maintained and neat.
