Encompassing art, design, fashion, music and performance, the museum will be flavoured with East London culture. Alongside the two free permanent exhibitions that will feature a number of new acquisitions, the museum opens with the exhibition, The Music is Black. Find out more.
New Cuban themed bar Little Havana has opened in Cliftonville, serving up drinks and tapas. Find it on Northdown Parade, in between Picnic and Cliftonville Dining Room.
