Wander from end to end, soak up all the smells and sights first then attack the stalls.

This cosy cocktail cavern is a bar with down-to-earth decor, extremely well-crafted cocktails, switched-on staff and good music. Simple, really. Read more.
As well as a cinema, a music venue and a bar, it's also a great place to come and relax with a hot chocolate (until the bar gets busy that is!)
Hidden treasure of a museum about family life in London from 16th to 20th Century. Plenty of info and interactive features. Well worth a visit.
They serve amazing coffee-based cocktails, including Espresso Martinis and White Russians in the evening - one of the best I've ever tasted!
Not really a 'zoo' but there are deer, chickens, pygmy goats and some somebirds in the middle of the park
No surprise this place has so many check-ins. It's the very heart of Shoreditch right now. Our tip is to check out the ceiling in the basement bar - made of light bulbs!
Go and sit near the lake cafe with a good book and watch the swans. Also great for sunbathing in the summer.
The cinema is located within a beautiful grade II listed building (built in 1909) on Kingsland Road. Originally called the Kingsland Palace - home-made baking & a bar! Read more.
It isn't called the Dalston Superstore for nothing - hosting different clubnights through the week and offering cakes, coffee and wifi in the day...how could you say no?
a must for anyone making their way through Brick Lane and fancy a relaxing sit-down. Try the cheesecake!
Strange bar with lots of tat hung on the walls and 'ironic' retro video projections. Good selection of cheap to expensive drinks, something for everyone.
The Old Truman Brewery's buzzy (Up)Market boasts some 140 stalls toting edgy fashion from young designers, vintage gear, gifts, art and crafts and well-priced jewellery. Read more.

This is one of my favourite places to sit and read in London - good coffee and beautiful bikes aplenty Read more.
Wait for the comfy chair and stay. Such lovely people, pastries and peace and quiet are hard to find!
Go for lunch and try to decide between a burrito, falafel wrap, Italian meatball lasagne, halloumi burger, Indian or Thai curry, salad bar and so on... at £3-4. Additional stalls on Friday!
This is the best fruits and veggie shop in London. Products are fresh, price is unbeatable. Can't recommend it enough.
Really nice place and excellent service. If you are tired of waiting to be served at Cat and Mutton come across the road and you'll be served pronto with a smile and nice Italian food.
Go for the Pad Thai and some crackers for lunch under £5, or Red Thai curry with butternut squash if you fancy some rice. Staff are friendly too!
Quirky,cool and different. Feels like you've time travelled to a different era.
