Can't really categorise this place.. It's a fab gay bar - but lots of straight people, like myself, hang out there.. It has a club downstairs, which gets some brilliant DJs and gets quite raucous at night.. But during the day you can have a quiet drink and get food. Never boring.

Arts & Culture

Lovely independent cinema, at the Dalston end of the road. Worth checking out what's on, as it often has interesting Q&As with filmmakers.

Famous London market. Has become quite commercial now, with some big brands moving into the area to trade on it's 'funky/edgy/trendy' status.. Still some interesting things to be found. Save enough time (and money) to cross over into Brick Lane - there's a good market over there, as well as a couple of great vintage shops. Plus, Brick Lane itself is famous for its extensive number of Indian restaurants.

Essentials

Getting Around

London Overground station that will take you all the way West (e.g. lovely Hampstead Heath..), further East (e.g. Shoreditch High Street for Spitafields market & Brick Lane, or Stratford for the HUGE Westfield Shopping Mall), or all the way South (e.g. trendy Peckham Rye - the next 'Dalston'...)
