An Viet Foundation was a core part of the community since its formation in 1982. The foundation welcomed refugees to the area and helped them by providing help with local services and also with any other issues such as housing.

ALT The community centre is set up with round dining tables and chairs with lamps hanging from the ceiling as decorations. There is a sign in the background displaying the words "An Viet Foundation Welcomes All The Guests" as well as decorative wall hangings.

HTN 90 years ago? ‘High Traffic Neighbourhood’ in 1931 when buildings on the south side of Church St on both sides of Albion Road were demolished, including the old Rose & Crown pub, so the junction could be widened to accommodate an increase in traffic.

We're renaming a Homerton gardens after Kit Crowley, a local role model, after residents voted for her name to replace that of Sir John Cass.
It's the first place to be renamed since our review started last year.

Kit Crowley was a Cassland Rd resident who played a key role in the WW2 effort & has been described as a role model for the children of the local Windrush generation
The new name was chosen by residents through a public consultation
HorridHackney retweeted
Councillors have approved the renaming of Cassland Road Gardens to Kit Crowley Gardens,as part of our #ReviewRenameReclaim naming review,which aims to make our public spaces more representative of our communities
