Stoke Newington

Introducing Stoke Newington

Just up the old Roman road from Dalston is Stoke Newington, or ‘Stokey’ to the locals. It’s more relaxed than its neighbour to the south, with a social mix that has contributed to a strong sense of local community. At its centre is Church Street, a haven for independent businesses in the capital, lined with bookshops, delicatessens and indie boutiques.
