Neighbourhood description
Dalston used to be a village and much of the area has retained that community feel today. Alongside Kingsland, Shacklewell, and Newington it formed part of the Parish of Hackney, dating all the way back to the 13th century, when it was referred to as Derleston. Today, you couldn’t find an area that is more up to the minute, whether you’re looking for the latest food, fashion or music. However, Dalston isn’t a passing trend type place – if you choose to live here it’s in a historic London spot with a wealth of exciting development happening.
You’ll find a lot to love about Dalston when it comes to culinary experiences. There are a myriad of Turkish restaurants in this part of London and they are the place to be if you’re looking for breakfast with a difference. We’d recommend trying dishes like the gözleme stuffed with spinach and cheese. Hash E8 is renowned for its breakfast hash browns while Café Route is amazing for eggs. If you don’t fancy a kebab for lunch then the range of other options is enormously wide. Lunchtime pizza at Voodoo Ray’s is 22 inches and served by the slice. There’s also a Mildred’s that has a delicious range of dishes for vegetarians. You can get pretty specific about your menu range when you’re eating out in Dalston whether that’s deep fried rice balls from Arancini Brothers or fried chicken and sour cocktails from Chick ‘n’ Sours. If you’re all about the sweet things, Jidori has won awards for its dessert.
Immersive nightlife
Not conforming is something that Dalston does best so if you’re looking for a slice of unusual London nightlife you’ll find plenty of it here. Farr’s School of Dancing, for example, is in fact a pub and not a dance academy – although it used to be. The craft beer here is excellent, as is the pub quiz. If you’re a live music fan then head over to The Victoria, especially if you’re looking to drink some rum. Dalston Roof Park has become a ‘go to’ during the summer months and is a great option if you’re looking for parties that go on through night and day. In terms of dancing, Dalston also has some great options, including the legendary Dalston Superstore or the Servant Jazz Quarters if swing is more your thing. Of course “nightlife” doesn’t have to been loud music and lots of booze, Dalston also has culture aplenty, including the Arcola Theatre, which puts on plays, operas and musicals featuring established and emerging artists. If art is more your vibe then head for The Invisible Line Gallery – the curators here don’t stick to a particular style but choose anything that they love.
Gains, no pains
Given the relative youthfulness of the population in Dalston it’s perhaps no surprise that fitness is a priority here. That means you have a very wide range of options to choose from when it comes to working out. There are a number of traditional gyms, such as Anytime Fitness and Kings Gym and plenty of other options, including Yoke yoga studio, Yoga on the Lane and BOXFIT.
