Dalston Area Guide

Our portfolio includes a diverse range of properties for sale and rent, from family homes to luxurious apartments in Dalston’s most sought-after locations.
Dalston is situated in East London. Here, you will find many creative professionals calling Dalston their home due to the art and fashion culture. Dalston is quickly becoming the epitome of ‘urban cool’ to the point where lots of places have been dubbed ‘the next Dalston’. The Guardian once published an article on Dalston naming it the “coolest” place to live in Britain. It’s a very intense urban environment with a varied ethnic population. It is architecturally a mixture of Georgian and Victorian terraces and Twentieth Century social housing estates.
Dalston also has great transport links and sits between other great areas such as the trendy Islington, Stoke Newington, London Fields and Shoreditch to the South. The area has changed considerably spurred on by the redevelopment of Dalston Junction tube station and the investment East London received in the build-up to the 2012 Olympics. With the Overground and many transportation links to the city, the area has really started to boom.

Eating Out
Stone Cave: Literally feels like you are in just that – a stone cave! The Turkish food served here by friendly staff is both delicious and authentic. A great place for group bookings and sharing a selection of hot and cold meze’s.
Chick ‘n’ sours: Opened in 2015 to raving reviews is a local fried chicken shop, but not as you know it! This rustic-chic eatery is a great place to get your junk food without a bad conscience as it has thoughtfully sourced its fried chicken. If the food wasn’t enough, they also have amazing sour cocktails and local beers. They have also opened more sites now in Covent Garden and Islington. Hemmingfords absolutely love it here!
Brilliant Corners: It’s quite a hard place to describe – part Japanese restaurant, part bar, part music venue – but it’s the sound system that draws you in, playing tracks curated by guest DJs. There’s a delicious list of cocktails available with loads more beers, wines and spirits to choose from.
