Lighthaus!
I pray nightly that I'll wake up and there might be something half decent going in at the Markhouse junction. Hopefully the flats behind there and further down LBR will create some more demand. I've lived there for about 5 years and all that's really happened is the local cafe closed - although it has been replaced by Crave which I rate highly.

Oh Lighthaus is brilliant but I don't exactly think of it as local to markhouse junction. I'd love it if there were something like that round here. Just somewhere for all us hipsters to gather.
Crave is great too. While I also miss Malc and Reet from Hare and Hounds, the refurb is great too. But I'd love a local hipster coffee shop.
That's just behind my flat - literally, I could chuck a bucket of rocks and hit it - and the local kids quite often do just that. (So from my perspective those skylights aren't a sales point!) Good god.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great warehouse, but this bit of E10 is very unreconstructed even for E10. We don't even have a hipster coffee shop down this end.
