Pedro Club

The Pedro Club offers all children and young adults within the borough a safe haven where they can enjoy sport and progress amongst their peers. We met the founder James Cook, MBE, as well as local members of the community at the club in Clapton. The Club has been a pillar of the community, and holds an important place in the heart of East London.
