Every 24th December we host a sing-song on the common, followed by mulled wine, mince pies and more singing in the Boiler House Community Centre, on the George Downing Estate, N16.
The Stoke Newington Common User Group (SNUG) are local people who give their time to look after Stoke Newington Common. We believe that open, public, green spaces are priceless. People need nature and nature needs us to protect it. SNUG volunteers work closely with the London Borough of Hackney and other local groups to p rotect and enhance the Common environmentally , and ensure it can be enjoyed by everyone. Please get in touch if you would like to help in any way. Email: snug.n16 [at] gmail.com Watch a short video about SNUG's work: As it is a Hackney park, if you notice any damage, fly-tipping or large amounts of litter please contact Hackney Council , tel 0208 356 8428; email parks@hackney.gov.uk; or download this Love Clean Hackney app to report directly
