Why Dalston?
Dalston’s the capital’s most vibrant address. It’s where Londoners like to play and some of the London’s most creative talent works.
Over the last five years, E8 has become synonymous with hidden nightclubs, vintage clothing, great coffee and the best people-watching in London. The East London line, the 2012 Olympics and Silicon Roundabout is just down the road – it’s Dalston’s time to shine.

Sharing the love, the Dalston way
But not everyone has benefited yet from our favourite neighbourhood’s rapid change. There’s still real deprivation and social problems for some people who live here and in the surrounding area.
Dalston Bridge raises much needed funds for brilliant local projects tackling these problems.
