The Neighborhood:
Long before it was considered one of the ‘coolest places in Britain’, cool young creative types flocked to Dalston to enjoy the buzzing nightlife, vintage shops and quirky cafes. Dalston is a trendy part of London, neighbouring the popular Stoke Newington area, as well as wider Hackney. If you’re looking to experience another side of London – the side of London the tourists never see – then it might be time to check out Dalston. It boasts one of London’s most vibrant cultural scenes, with interesting films, gigs and plays taking place most nights of the week.
★ Things to Do:
Rio Cinema: A hub of local life and Dalston landmark since 1915, the Rio is one of the few properly independent cinemas in London. With a newly added second screen to go with its grand Art Deco auditorium, the Rio shows indie and foreign films alongside festivals, classics, Q&A screenings and films for kids during the holidays. Make sure to leave time to buy snacks: they’re all from local suppliers.
Dalston Eastern Curve Garden: Sweeping along the former course of a railway line, Dalston Eastern Curve Garden is simply one of London’s greatest hidden green spaces. Run as a social enterprise with a café and pizza oven, it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours at one of the tables nestled amongst the shrubbery, or to check out one of the popular seasonal events like the annual Halloween pumpkin display.
EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney): London must be full of spectacular abandoned spaces like the Savoy Cinema. While its lower levels were converted into a pool hall and banqueting suite, the art deco auditorium lay a derelict secret for years – until it was brought back to life in 2018 by the team behind Village Underground in Shoreditch. Now it’s a stunning space for music and comedy which has hosted acts as diverse as Fat White Family and Little Mix.
Food & Drink:
Mangal 2 Restaurant: This wildly popular Turkish grill is known for its mouthwatering meat dishes, cooked over charcoal, and its BYOB drinks policy. It’s certainly not the only brilliant Turkish joint in Dalston, but it’s a great place to start.
Furanxo is primarily a wine and charcuterie shop, selling imported tins of sardines, octopus, artichokes and other colourful Spanish produce, along with speciality cheese and meats. But at the weekends, opening hours extend so hispanophiles can file in for a glass of something interesting – natural wine from niche Spanish regions.
High Water: Tucked away on Dalston’s northern borders, High Water is known as an industry-approved ‘bartender’s bar’ – meaning firstly that you’re likely to spot staff from other watering holes here, and secondly that the cocktails are pretty damn special. The quality here is certainly high enough to believe the shabby-chic interior.
★ Looking for an escape? For a total contrast to chaotic Kingsland High Street, take a walk down Wilton Way or Shacklewell Lane: two cute little thoroughfares running east from Dalston. They both have a lovely villagey vibe!
