Upcoming Events and Opportunities
Community Lunch – Antwerp Arms
The Community Lunch at the Antwerp Arms is back up and running after a summer break. The only thing that has changed is that it’s now on a MONDAY, every Monday.
Anyone in need of a hot meal and some company can get a free vegetarian lunch at the pub. Lunch is from 1pm to 2pm and made with fresh produce delivered that morning.
The kitchen is run entirely by volunteers and supported by generous food donations from the Felix Project. The Antwerp Arms Association provides funding, training and equipment to keep the kitchen running smoothly.
The community kitchen is about so much more than a hot meal – for both our visitors and our volunteers, it’s a place to meet other people, have friendly conversation and enjoy the warmth and support of our community. MAKE
The Antwerp Arms is at 168-170 Church Road, N17 8AS. For more details, email secretary@antwerparms.co.uk or whatsapp 07922 080 721.

Four hundred years ago, Tottenham was a rural village on the outskirts of London and its vicar, William Bedwell, was England’s most important scholar of the Arabic language. If you wanted to learn Arabic, you wouldn’t go to a prestigious school or university — you would visit his vicarage, on what is now White Hart Lane.
