I live in Hackney on the borders of Islington, Stoke Newington and Dalston, and the area is a magnet for great food outlets.

Anyone interested in Hackney's built environment will already be familiar with OPEN Dalston. OPEN is “the trading name for Organisation for Promotion of Environmental Needs Limited” and, in Dalston, its deepest concerns are centred on the work that is being done to build a new “Overground” station (not, as is often claimed, a tube station) [...]
