Renting in Dalston

What's it like to live in Dalston?

Dalston sits on the Hackney border and shares much of its creative energy. Kingsland Road (the "Dalston strip") is famous for its Turkish restaurants, Vietnamese eateries, and late-night bars. Dalston has a grittier edge than nearby Hackney — fewer families, more nightlife. The Overground makes it easy to reach the City and south London. Ridley Road Market is a proper East London market with African, Caribbean, and Asian groceries at wholesale prices. Rents are slightly lower than central Hackney, making it popular with sharers and creatives.
