To celebrate shops on Aberfeldy Street reopening after lockdown, Meanwhile Space commissioned local illustrator Matt Ponting (aka Doodling Around) to work with a group of Year 9 pupils at Langdon Park School – all of whom live on the Aberfeldy Estate – to design colourful art for shop fronts. This collaborative
community art project represents a message of support from the young people to their local high street, and hopes to encourage more footfall by Tower Hamlets residents to the area in line with the #ShopSafeShopLocal initiative promoted by local authorities.

With thanks to Spotlight for facilitating the virtual art workshops with the young people of Aberfeldy.
This is such a vibrant initiative! It's wonderful to see young people from Langdon Park School brightening up Aberfeldy Street after the lockdown. The #ShopSafeShopLocal campaign is a great way to boost local businesses. This reminds me of the creative energy you feel when mastering a difficult level in Snow Rider , that sense of accomplishment. I hope this community art project brings a similar joy to the residents of Tower Hamlets.
That’s awesome to hear about local entrepreneurs like Leon and Joshua making it easier to book barbershop appointments! I’ve often wished booking a fresh cut could be just as simple as finding a fun game to play online. Speaking of which, when you’re waiting for your turn at Roots, try playing Slope Game on your phone—it’s a great way to pass the time and keep your mind sharp!
Many people believe that Call Girl in Delhi can deliver the most pleasurable sex if they are just attractive and talented. This is untrue, though. In addition to these two, other important factors include stamina and fitness, maximum customer pleasure, secrecy and timeliness, style and professionalism, and, most importantly, a dedication to creating an experience.
In poor bunny, the real-time environment adds depth and excitement. It’s not just about jumping—it's about timing, awareness, and adapting fast.
