A Hackney artist looks at London Fields

Loving Dalston CULTURE, Hackney, LATEST, NEWS

IF YOU visit London Fields this weekend, you might like to pop into a nearby exhibition of work by 30 artists that includes sketches of the area by Tony Coombs. Charmingly, his partner Elsie Pilbeam also features.
