Go further to Dalston!

Why Dalston? Why not Brinklane?

Myself, i live in East London for the past 9 years and i've seen all the changing, in the beginning when i moved here, i used to live in Bricklane

Back then, it was cool, very underground because the accommodations were very cheap and for the students (specially fashion/music student) or people came from other countries were affordable, i remember i paid £200 a month for a room and i live in in the middle of Bricklane.

Sunday Market in Bricklane is like a fashion show for us, watch the show and walking the run way in the same time, the market was mainly selling bikes, vegetables and building equipments, so it wasn't anything excited about the market but the people who is going to the market.

Now, Bricklane became more and more well known, nowaday is one of the sightseeing attractions, in the last couple of years i live above spitalfields Market, every single sunday as soon as i opened my door, i'd see people holding the map and look for Bricklane, i even came up to them few time and asked if they were looking for Bricklane and i certainly knew they were going to say yes.

For me, Bricklane is not like the Bricklane that i knew from the beginning anymore, now is like very hippies and touristy. So where is the next step for the people who used to live around there? Just go a bit further. Go Dalston!

Dalston / London Fields / Victoria Park / Stock Newington are kinda new area for those people who a bit fed up of the Bricklane  area,  I now moved to Kingsland Road, i have my nice neighbours who love talking about the past of East London, and when we talk, we'd talk for ages.

The vibe in this area is incredible, up coming bars also every week or every other week, is full of excitements place to live, a lot of nice private events, gigs and exhibitions, bars are in every single corners and cafes are everywhere in the area, the crowd surely different than the one in Bricklane, at least they are not holding the map, so you will feel like you are a one of our local people and very into the East London scene.
