A 5 minute walk away is Newington Green, you’ll find some of the area’s best-loved coffee spots and bakeries right on your doorstep such as Jolene's, Farmer’s Mistress and Perilla, both offering artisanal coffee and freshly baked pastries.
We recommend Church Street in Stoke Newington for food / quaint vibes. It's close to Clissold Park, a stunning local space (our favourite) for a coffee and walk.
Food recommendations: The Acoustic in Stoke Newington - affordable, Mediterranean and friendly service. Esca De Cuba in Dalston - Cuban / Spanish hybrid at an affordable price in a great location. Oi Vita on Newington Green for some of the best pizza in London, The Good Egg – Middle Eastern-inspired brunch. Rasa N16 – South Indian (Vegetarian).

Bars and Nightlife
Dalston is famous for its nightlife. The Dalston Roof Park offers views of the skyline along with cocktails, while Brilliant Corners is a laid-back spot for craft beers and vinyl records.

We're a creative, travel-loving couple from York, now living in London.
We’re both both 27, originally from city of York and now living in the heart of London. Together, we run an art brand with a shop in Shoreditch. Our work is inspired by exploring new places for both work and leisure.
Our home is in a lively part of East London, close to great cafes, shops, and transport links, offering the perfect spot to experience the city. We often travel for both work and leisure and are happy to exchange homes or offer ours while we’re away.
