A mighty wren in @AbneyParkN16 yesterday morning. Sound ON! [AD= looking up into the jumble of a tree in full leaf. We can only hear the birds singing.]
Looking especially lovely this morning @AbneyParkN16 💚
The park is now REOPENED after the high winds. Thanks to @hackneycouncil officers. @StokeyUpdates
Late notice but Abney was closed yesterday due to the yellow wind warning, and remains CLOSED today as @hackneycouncil assess the damage. We’ll update when we’re told more.
As some of you may well know, the iconic music video for Amy Winehouse' Back To Black was filmed just up the road from The Rio in Abney Park - one of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ garden cemeteries of London. Watch behind the scenes footage of Amy in Stoke Newington while filming.
Stoke Newington: good day for raptors. At 17.21 a Buzzard circled over Abney Pk while a Red Kite did the same at Woodberry. Rare to see both at the same time here #londonbirds

@AbneyParkN16 Reflection looking through. Here’s one from the other side
Winter window in the @AbneyParkN16 chapel. Can’t wait to have a look at the refurbishment from the inside.
@AbneyParkN16 @thebumpercrew Yes, dogs. Far too many and not being kept under control. I see very few people in Abney who aren't there with dogs now. Not a place for a relaxing walk any more.
It’s great to see investment in improving amenities and facilities in Stoke Newington. This includes the restoration of the chapel, the addition of a new café, workshop, and community spaces in Abney Park, and the upcoming renovation of the library and West Reservoir Centre.
The tennis courts in Clissold Park are set to be renovated as part of a £65,000 investment from the Lawn Tennis Association.
