A green oasis for everyone to enjoy in the heart of busy Dalston

Incredible building centred in the heart of London. Great for exhibitions, David Hockney is currently showing here.

Arguably the best café in London – or at least East London – with an incredibly welcoming atmosphere, delicious array of food and drinks, and hypnotising views to Broadway Market. Visit early in the mornings, for a roque-monsieur at lunch, or to get lost in their cheese selection at the market stalls on Saturday. Warning: addiction likely to occur.

Fantastic place with great food and natural wine. Lovely energy and ideal with a group of friends or cozy with 2.

I often stop when passing this artery of city traffic. The dwarfing structure casts shapes and shadows which can easily be missed when speeding in/out of the city.
