Essex Road and Church Street


If you like London, as I do, you will love these two roads in North part of the city.
Nothing really special at all about them, just very nice to walk on Church street, from Stoke Newington main road until Clissolds park.
Lots of small cafes, traditional pubs, shops, an Indian, Spanish, and an Italian restaurants, etc… There is a farmer’s market on Saturdays as well where you can find really really local people and few foreigners as me as well. Nice and chilled out moods, unbelievable but people look at you, smile, and say: “Good morning! How are you today?”, That’s really strange here in London, hehe.
Then, Essex road, which looks like more London town, more bikes/bus/cabs/cars traffic, and noise… but still veeery cool!
Tip: Look carefully at the mews there, and you will find one of Banksy’s famous graffiti, the kids looking at the Tesco flag :-)
Almost getting to Angel tube station, on the left, check the permanent market as well, again, nice small and traditional shops; Great to walk around, have a cappuccino or a tea and spend some quality time digging out stuff.
Have a try when you have a chance and check these places out. Pick up the bus 73, 76 or 243 towards Stoke Newington, step out at the police station, walk these streets towards Angel tube station and enjoy the area!
Hope you like it!
See you soon!

Cheers
