Or central line to Leyton and bus across the road to Walthamstow which stops right by the theatre.

Just received the latest copy of "Waltham Forest News" the local Council's newspaper. It says that the building will reopen in 2023 and Soho Theatre Walthamstow's first programme of shows will be in early 2024. Tickets will go on sale this year. I hope they will give a discount to Waltham Forest residents like the Theatre Royal E15 does with Newham residents. No mention of the organ, I guess it has gone. I would have loved to have seen it rise out of the floor playing music. The article says that to get the latest updates sign up at walthamforest.gov.uk/soho .

I went to the Lightroom to visit the installation about Hockney. That was quite good if you already knew a lot about Hockney and it wasn’t cheap. Apart from that there is nothing there, a poor unstocked cafe and a nice place to sit outside. Otherwise pointless. If it going to be a theatre they had better get on with it.

I loved the Hockney, I found the cafe to be buzzing - no place to sit so we went elsewhere.

There is an enormous amount of public space around the Kings X development, which will obviously mature in time though the focus, atm, seems to be around the canal area. I saw Google's 'skyscraper on its side' at the weekend - that is really coming along. Anyway, here's an article that indirectly concerns London's new 1,500 seat theatre at Olympia (so the same size as Sadler's Wells), due to open in about a year. I've cycled around parts of the site and *I think* the building partly shown on the left-side of the image is the new theatre. It'll be an interesting read for some www.telegraph.co.uk/art/architecture/thomas-heatherwick-olympia-london/Also, here's a link to Sadler's Wells East, which will be on our radar pretty soon now - ignore the tube for this one, it's better to take the train from Kings X / St Pancras (one stop, about 8 minutes to Stratford), or the Elizabeth Line: www.sadlerswells.com/about-us/our-theatres/sadlers-wells-east/

Just read in the local free newspaper that the new Soho Theatre Walthamstow opening will be delayed until 2025. It will have 970 seats.
