There used to be a thriving Metal scene in Newham, where i'm from. This was largely focused around the Ruskin Arms pub which was where Iron Maiden (also from the area) played their first gig. I was too young to see that but I saw counless other local bands that played there. As far as I know, Maiden were the only ones who went on to have any real success.
Anyway, some lovely pre-Dickinson Maiden footage from that Ruskin gig:
