Dalston has been considered the most wonderful neighborhood in London for decades. Visiting this city will give you a multicultural experience because it is packed with delicious food, fun night outs, and bargain buys. While there are numerous chic eateries in the area, you will also find many other things to do in Dalston N1. Let’s look at the top picks that MUST be seen:
Hang out at Servant Jazz Quarters
Despite the name, the Servant Jazz Quarters does not ONLY play jazz. So if you are a fan of music, this is an excellent spot to visit to hear hip-hop, electronic, indie, and experimental sounds. It is a small, candle-lit bar with an awesome speakeasy vibe. It is a gem if you are looking to see bands that are not overpriced. The Servant Jazz Quarters is a beautiful spot, even if you are not a fan of live music.
Invisible Line Gallery
Invisible Line Gallery was established as an extension to the nearby Whitechapel Gallery. The purpose of this Gallery was to facilitate young local artists to showcase their talents and give a spot to people for bringing creativity. You can visit the Gallery for free and even host workshops, debates, exhibitions, film screenings, and readings.
Ridley Road Market Bar
Looking for an amiable market with lots to do on Fridays and Saturdays? Visit the free-of-cost Ridley Road Market Bar. Experience great DJs spinning disco, 80s pop, reggae, and cheap booze with a friendly, young troop. Best of all, you will not have to make reservations. It is a genius bar, with ludicrously DIY décor and tunes that make the joint alive till 2 am. The cocktail menu is diverse here. Devour the piña colada for a cheesy beach bar vibe and enjoy the original creation Kamm Kardashian.
See fringe Theatre at the Arcola Theatre
Even though it’s relatively small, the Arcola Theatre in Dalston N1 still puts up bold and aspiring productions. Musicals, operas, and co-productions with Royal Shakespeare Company is the main highlight of this theatre. The theatre focuses on community service and comes with an exciting policy of pay what you can.
