50 Event & party venues near Dalston London

In recent years, Dalston appears to have snatched the (vintage, reclaimed, Y2K) crown straight from under the nose of Shoreditch and become London’s most painfully cool neighbourhood. Seen as more residential than Shoreditch, and with a better nightlife scene than Islington, Dalston has become the neighbourhood of choice for young creatives and party animals, although it is also popular with first time families too - there is a real mix of people here, all getting along just fine.

The most famous part of Dalston is definitely Kingsland Road, a large stretch of pavement that is home to a parade of trendy cocktail bars, vintage fashion boutiques and edgy basement clubs. Elsewhere in the area, you can find Ridley Road market, where sellers man stalls offering up fresh fruit and vegetables as well as household goods. As with everywhere else in the capital, gentrification is slowly creeping in here, but thankfully Dalston is still home to plenty of international representation - you only need to take a short walk to find Turkish restaurants sitting alongside Caribbean grocery stores and Vietnamese cafes.
