Blackhorse Workshop is a public space dedicated to making and mending, just half an hour from the centre of London. We offer open access to a fully equipped wood and metal workshop. Our mission is ‘to become a socially pioneering world class centre for making’. Machinery support is on hand from our highly skilled technicians, and here you can build or fix anything from broken chairs to theatrical sets, bikes and furniture – and where you can grow your startup with the support of industry expertise and a community of makers. You can come and use the workshop from as little as half a day to a whole year. We welcome everyone from dabblers to professionals, and will help you wherever we can. We also run courses and events, from basic DIY skills to the art of welding. We invite artists, designers, expert fabricators and craftsmen from a range of industries to talk about their ideas.

Gather E17 is a pop up restaurant, founded by husband and wife team, Martin and Charlotte. We will be hosting supper clubs, Friday Nights and Sunday brunches in our pop up at Blackhorse Lane Ateliers (https://blackhorselane.com). Our shared vision is to bring seasonal, ethically sourced and beautifully cooked food to our home in Walthamstow. Our style of food is Modern British. We use French cooking techniques and British produce. Together we want to bring fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere to Waltham Forest, championing local artisanal makers and growers.

We are an independent local wine shop in Walthamstow, E17. Specialising in natural and organic wines, local craft beers and selected spirits. We came to create Forest Wines because the local wine shop we wanted did not exist in Walthamstow. We were after a place that would offer drinks for every occasion – simple wines for the everyday table, great wines for those special occasions, and craft beers and selected spirits for everything in between. We wanted a place that’s a product of passion, where we could stop by and pick up a bottle on our way from work, chat to someone who knows their products, and get a sense of a local community.

We specialise in fine cheese, wine and craft beer. We stock a range of cheeses from the UK and Europe and specialise in finding cheese from smaller, independent dairies. We have a similar philosophy on beer and wine and seek out lesser known beers, ales and wine from the UK and Europe. As well as this we welcome you to sit in and enjoy our renowned cheeseboards and toasties or coffee by Climpson & Sons and pastries by Aura Rosa. We also deliver cheese and beer to anywhere in the UK.
