Antique and craft fair returns to<br />
Wanstead with huge footfall<br />
Poppy Pantry closes after lease is<br />
awarded to Royal Voluntary Service<br />
A monthly antique and craft fair has resumed<br />
its events in Wanstead. “I was overwhelmed<br />
by the huge footfall we had at our opening<br />
fair at the end of September. The people of<br />
Wanstead have really missed our shopping<br />
experience, with two halls full of vintage and<br />
retro artefacts. I think we will be going from<br />
strength to strength in future months,” said<br />
Rita Adams, organiser of Pandora’s Antiques<br />
and Collectibles Fair. The next event will take<br />
place on 27 <strong>November</strong> at Christ Church hall<br />
(9am to 4pm; entry: £1). Call 07980 987 367<br />

The Poppy Pantry – a cafe in the grounds<br />
of the City of London Cemetery – closed<br />
last month following the City of London<br />
Corporation’s decision to end its lease. It<br />
follows a petition to save the family-run<br />
business which received more than 6,000<br />
signatures. The venue’s lease has been<br />
awarded to the charity Royal Voluntary<br />
Service, which, with its network of cafes and<br />
shops, is one of the largest retailers in the NHS.<br />
