Championing local community

Roman Road LDN is a neighbourhood magazine celebrating the best of local life in the Roman Road area of Bow, Mile End and Globe Town in East London.

Please support us. We have not put our digital content behind a paywall or membership scheme as we think the benefits of an independent, local publication should be available to everyone living in our area. Your donations are essential for us to continue our work.
