See Our Sale PropertiesArea Guide to Dalston
The naughties cemented Dalston as East London’s hippest neighbourhood and with a buzzing high street, multicultural community, delicious food and late-night bars; it hasn't lost its cool credentials. Behind chaotic Kingsland High Street and bustling Ridley Road market are residential streets lined with Victorian terraces and modern flats. It may not have a tube, but there are two Overground stations and buses aplenty.
From cocktails at Ruby’s to clubbing at Oval Space, Dalston is notorious for a good night out. The thriving Turkish community makes it the best place to grab a kebab in London and countless independent eateries offer affordable global grub, from Japanese at Jidori to fried chicken at Chick’n’Sours. Grab some sourdough for brunch from Dusty Knuckle, the social enterprise bakery that supplies bread to London’s best restaurants.
Catch indie flicks and classic matinees at the art deco, Grade-II listed Rio Cinema or bag (ridiculously) cheap tickets for new works and modern adaptations at the Arcola Theatre. Take a canal path stroll or enjoy a slice of green space at Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, a community-run slice of vital green space.
