In between soho and covent garden. There ares lots of great independent shops on this street. Dover bookshop, magma, super superficial and Mint to name a few. Also if you want a cheap lunch on your work break Cafe No.1 is amazing. £2.50 jacket potatoes with cheese and beans.

Classic independent cinema in the heart of Dalston. Good vibes and films. Support your local cinema!

Excellent gallery. It has big rooms which often feature large pieces and admission is free.

Contemporary art gallery always showcasing interesting artists. Area is great and building is top

A great walk down an old abandoned rail way from Finsbury Park to Highgate. Most of the original platforms are sill remaining so its an interesting place to explore...
