I thought it was worth quoting the following comment, left today under an older post:
'The noise on Friday 19th September was unbearable. My girlfriend and I were woken up at 3am by groups of men swearing, shouting and loitering around our front door. This noise persisted until 4.45am! The next morning there was smashed glass, plastic bottles, hundreds of flyers for Mango’s and McDonalds litter strewn across the street where they had simply thrown it out of their cars. Surely Mango’s should have to take some form of accountability for the terrible state of the street?'
Did anyone else hear or see anything that night?

I have just sent an email to all 3 local councillors and Daniel Oyebanjo related to the noise on Pennington Street. I urge other residents to do the same.
I too was awoken by the noise on said night. What will Saturday September 27th have in store?
I too was awoken by the noise, as we are every Friday and Saturday night. I phoned the police and complained after getting the number from this site. Many thanks to whomever has set up this blog, it is much needed, and is good to know I am not crazy and blowing this whole situation out of perspective. The way in which these people behave on a weekly basis blows my mind, how old are they? The faux security guard on the corner is laughable and like a another blogger I am thinking eggs are our only option?
Rest assured that you are most certainly not getting the situation out of proportion - it really is unacceptable. It would be bad enough if one person suffered that level of disturbance but you'll no doubt have seen from the comments on here that this is a widespread problem.
What we need is evidence. Any scrap of information - dates/times, when you call the police, any response from the police, what you see in the street - anything at all, post it up here. Sooner or later we will get a result.
I had considered a mediaeval-style catapult on my roof to launch salvos of eggs but, luckily for all concerned, I concluded that the blog was mightier than the sword.
Another weekend, another appalling experience of antisocial behaviour courtesy of Mango's patrons. I live in a ground floor flat on Pennington Street and have become accustomed to the vile language, littering, violence and blasting of car stereos every weekend. However,last Friday (the 26th) brought new horrors. I was watching a film at around midnight when I became aware of the sound of running water outside my window. I looked out to see a young Asian man urinating from the pavement down on to my kitchen window. I banged furiously on the window and he looked me straight in the eye, smiled and continued!! I ran in to the street to confront the delinquant and his gang of male friends who had congregated on the corner, and they had the gall to laugh at my protests. I called Limehouse police station and a few minutes later the police arrived and I positively identified the perpetrator (who denied the whole thing) but was nevertheless taken away in the back of a police van. I am a 22 year old woman and yet I am forced into confrontations, altercations and police disputes with gangs of Asian men regularly at the weekends. I often have to open my ground floor bedroom window to ask rowdy drunks to turn down their stereos in the early hours, to which they aren't going to take kindly. I detest the vulnerable position I am in as these men could return to Mango's every weekend and obviously know where I live.
I really don't know what to say. There are a few grisly comments on here but this is, as you say, appalling. The investigation by the Community Safety people is ongoing. If their efforts fail then we will have no choice but to challenge Mango's license. If and when that time comes your comments on here will be invaluable when making our case. This obnoxious behaviour will not go on forever. One way or another, it will be brought to an end.
