Find yourself on the main strip of Dalston, one of the city’s hippest neighbourhoods. Immerse yourself in the melting pot of London life, where traditional Turkish restaurants rub shoulders alongside gastro pubs, natural wine bars, and vintage stores. See a film at Rio Cinema, one of the last independent cinemas and a bona fide local landmark, or catch a play with up-and-coming talents at the Arcola Theatre. Explore the hidden green space of Dalston Eastern Curve Garden and pick up a pastry at destination bakery, Dusty Knuckle. Night owls should make a beeline for Dalston Superstore – where a line-up of DJs spin until the small hours.
