The Secret History of East London documents a shared history of Hackney and beyond, showing glimpses of previous lives, temporary spaces and urban landscapes. So far pinned are Manor Gardens Allotment, now bulldozed and underneath the Olympic Park, warehouse raves across the borough, art installations and pop-up restaurants.

Folly For a Flyover: a building trapped under the east and westbound lanes of the A12, hosting a six week programme of waterside cinema, performance and play. Hand-built with local, reclaimed and donated materials, inspired by the local council estates and red-brick buildings of Hackney Wick, it poses as an imaginary piece of the area’s past. Launching on 24 June, events include bug hotel building using Olympic Park waste materials, a 30 piece East London Brass Band performance and a spectacular family party hosted by Disco Loco. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the building’s over-sized outdoor steps will double as an auditorium to host a programme of screenings and performances, from animation classics including early Disney through to experimental films including 2001 Space Odessy and Tron (1982) with a live remixed sound track. Folly for a Flyover is conceived, designed and constructed by Assemble CIC, and programmed with the support of The Barbican Art Gallery’s summer exhibition, Watch Me Move. Assemble CIC’s last project, The Cineroleum was a pilot project demonstrating the potential for the wider creative re-use of UK’s 4000 empty petrol stations.

Filmed on Hackney Marshes, evoking the dreaded cross country run of our youth, this muddy video for The Temper Trap’s single Love Lost makes shivers down the spine with the Yorkshire sounding teacher hollering “round t’wood - Colliers Wood - past the farm and back in 30 minutes. you got it? - now get on with it!”

The pot hole gardener: the green antidote to the lumps and bumps in our roads. East London cyclist Steve Wheen featured in the Metro this week, planting flowers in potholes as a protest to the state of roads. His website the pothole gardener has had 25,000 hits in its first month. People are happily suggesting new locations for these mini - and often very temporary - gardens. ‘I am following up some suggestions. One is that I try and turn Edgware Road into Kew Gardens,’ he said, somewhat ambitiously, ‘Now I can’t stop looking at potholes wherever I go.’
