Shop local this Christmas

27/11/2020

With the great news that many businesses can re-open in London from Wednesday 2 December, we’re supporting local businesses, as part of Tower Hamlets’ #ShopLocal campaign.

We’ll share as many of the wonderful, local Christmas offers and services, as we can, on our social media.

Is your business based in Tower Hamlets? If you’ve got a product or service you want to promote, why not join the #ShopLocal #SupportLocal campaign?

Here’s just a peek at what’s on offer in Poplar…
