Esters, a favourite with locals, is an excellent neighbourhood café serving breakfast, lunch and coffee, while slightly further afield is Primeur; recently described as ‘the perfect neighbourhood restaurant’, it serves modern European cuisine and natural wine on Petherton Road.
The weekly food market on Chatsworth Road is easily reached in around 20 minutes by foot and Hackney Picture House, London Fields Lido and the Grade-II* listed St John at Hackney, an 18th-century chapel and live music venue, are also nearby.
