[edit] Should hold the line

This is a very important area, and is set to become even more so, so it's been shamefully neglected. Hope this'll help for now. Yet to add a little piece on Restaurants (I have a couple of favourites, would be nice to get an interior pic of the Shanghai), external links and maybe a small history piece.

Hi Tarquin, agree to restaurants - Shanghai is rated as one of the best Chinese in London by Square Meal and Gilbert and George can be found most nights in the Mangal.

Ridley Road market was featured in The Apprentice last week.Piersmasterson 10:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

And the Shanghai is a Grade II listed building (loads of those in Stokie or Old Dalston to the east, but not many at the Junction). Really need a pic of that interior. Mangal II was on my list too, though I often end up at the modest Istanbul across the road, easier to get a table, food almost as good...

Yeah, Sir Alan knows his markets (well, he is a Hackney lad). Probably one of the most competitive on prices he could have sent them to in East London.

Anyway, go for it, Piers - I too hope to do some more on Dalston soon, there's also the issue of proposed redevelopment - the old Theatre is under occupation now. Have been updating Stokie mostly, but this is next on the list. Tarquin Binary 17:54, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
