The Rough Guide to Dalston
|
Every week, Born Sloppy broadcasts straight outa Dalston,
the perfect destination for city break, dirty weekend, or a
kebab and a fight. This is our exclusive guide.
|
(1) De Beauvoir Town The hottest spot in town,
home of trendy nu-bars like Fakkar, Tramps-Preserved-In-Yoghurt,
Shit Storm – and the legendary club bar Violence
Brewin’. It was the first to use leather sofas and
craggy Irishmen in tasselled black loafers to achieve that essential
70’s retro look. Its Friday club night ‘You Starting?’
is a don’t-miss. Dress: badly.
(2) Mordor 'Village' A recent addition
to E8's metropolitan skyline, the blasted landscape of Mordor
is a must for those who m warehouse-conversions and loft apartments
in old factories are just not 'street' enough.
(3) The Roost Born Sloppy HQ is a beacon in
the veil of the night. The place for a frugging good Freitag.
Around here somewhere.
(4) Knives coming out of the walls
(5) Collapsing roof
(6) Trip wires
(7) Big ball like in Indiana Jones poised to roll on top of you
Dalston is a great place for gourmets of world cuisine who love
kebabs. Be it wet, sweet, hot or crunchy, there’s always
something edible within reach – as long as you like it
shaved off a slowly rotating, headless, limbless, slightly glistening,
oversized lamb ‘cork’. Dalston’s eateries
are respected the world-over for their friendly service, reasonable
prices, and very old Street Fighter II machines. Thank you my
friend!
The area is well-serviced by a number of buses and airplanes.
There also many minicab firms (blue blobs on the map). The biggest
are: AARDVARK private hire, AAA-Dial-A-Coconut-Scented-Nissan,
and successful new upstarts AAAAAAAAA cars. A knowledge of London
backstreets and enjoyment of Melody Radio on loud essential.
The famous are a bit thin on the ground. Most have settled in nearby Clapton or Tottenham Hale. But a few remain…
The Queen
Her big pad up-town is actually a smokescreen. HRH has a 3-up,
3 down ex-council townhouse off the Kingsland road. The exact
location must remain secret for security reasons but we can
reveal her kebab preference: Chicken Shish, full salad,
hold the chilli sauce.
recently spotted out'n'about in Dalston:
Ali Osman from Eastenders, answering a ringing public phone
Pete Waterman, eating a kebab
Charlotte Church, in Blockbusters, renting 'Spiderman'
