Welcome to the grown-up version of Love Wapping, or the East End Enquirer as it is more accurately known.

The East End Enquirer is similar to Love Wapping (LW) but different.

Our editorial staff are now focussing on investigative journalism for London's East End.

To be precise investigative community journalism. We work for our community. You.

Like hundreds of other citizens across the UK we responded to the lack of local newspapers in our area by creating our own online publication.

We do not recycle press releases. We carry no advertising. And we do not get paid. Yup, we do this for free.

Why? Because it needs to be done and nobody else is doing it.

LC Host

The East End Enquirer only exists thanks to the generosity of LC Host.

Our previous site, Love Wapping, was damaged by malware attacks to such an extent that it could no longer be used.

Tower Hamlets based LC Host came to the rescue and provided us with a new rock solid hosting platform free of charge.

How generous is that?

This allowed us to start building the East End Enquirer.

LC Host provide high quality internet services at reasonable prices including web hosting, dedicated servers, colocation and more.
