Clapton

Guide to Clapton

In the beginning, people only moved to Clapton because Hackney got too expensive and it was just up the road. But then as more people moved there, its popularity grew as did its communities and local business.

Highlights include the weekend market on Chatsworth Road which has a range of great street food and fresh produce to buy. And there’s a ton of great places to eat any old day of the week. This is where Yard Sale Pizza began, plus there’s Eat 17, and great dim sum from My Neighbours the Dumplings. There’s no shortage of excellent (and very spacious) pubs too: check out the Crooked Billet and The Princess of Wales.

One of our favourite Clapton institutions has to be the beautiful Castle cinema and when we’re in need of a fitness boost, BLOK is our first port of call. Blue Tit, one of London’s best hairdressers, have a salon here plus there’s a ton of other great shops including Darling & Gold, and Lion, Coffee, Records.

Here are some of the many fantastic pubs, bars and eateries that Clapton has to offer
