I spent yesterday afternoon at the Hackney Wicked Festival, which was ace. Scores of artists studios to explore, proper-decent food a-cooking, stalls selling crafty stuff, ultra-trendy East London types milling in the streets, and oh-so-much to experience. I won't repeat my write-up from last year, because it was just as enjoyable then. But I will recommend that you go this afternoon, if you've nothing else planned - and there's a Fete and a Coracle Regatta scheduled too. [map]
If you can't get there, then here are six rather different photos I took of the Olympic Stadium from the heart of the HW action, just to give you a flavour.
