Dalston
Where to eat and drink in Dalston, East London. Chosen on merit by Lamplit London.
Dalston is east London after dark: a stretch of Kingsland Road where the charcoal grills run past midnight, the basement bars keep going later, and Ridley Road Market sells everything the rest of the city forgot. It has gentrified in patches without losing the noise, and it is still the most reliable place in London for a night with no fixed end.
Our Dalston guides cover the best of it, from the Turkish grills to the late bars and music rooms. Chosen on merit, for a cheap and excellent dinner or a very long night.
