Where do Stoke Newington locals go?
Blighty Coffee
A coffee shop with a difference! Great food, lovely staff, quirky décor and even better coffee, all in the heart of Blackstock Road. There's a lounge area and garden, complete with an air-raid shelter and table tennis, which is the perfect place to hide away from the hustle and bustle of Finsbury Park. It's more than a coffee shop, Blighty is a community.Read more

Did you know?
"London's non-denominational Magnificent Seven burial garden, Abney Park cemetery is perhaps more renowned for the sheer amount of trees than its residents. Over 2500 trees are planted alphabetically in a perimeter around the park."
Clissold Park is the perfect place for a day out with the kids - there's animal enclosures, a lovely café and lakes to explore.

What locals say about Stoke Newington
“Stoke Newington has everything you can want in one postcode. Some of the best theatres, bars, and restaurants.”
Local resident
“Stoke Newington is a great distance from central London. The place is very relaxed, there are brilliant park and woodland areas to spot owls etc and the cafes, pub/bars and shops are great. It is also walking distance from Dalston and Hackney Central. Perfect spot for me!”
Samuel
“I live opposite wonderfully kept Clissold Park, which is great for running and taking a stroll around. There is a wide selection of cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from when the mood or necessity takes you. There is a good library with friendly librarians, an annual literary festival, good bus links to central London and the proximity of London Overground is very helpful too.”

Party In Your Pants LONDON Glastonboobie
London, you crazy cats! We are back to start the summer with another magnificently messy party. We know that some of you would rather be in a field this weekend, and we cannot pretend that our mess will contain as much mud, but we are delighted to present Glastonboobie! Hand made, with love and no corporate donors, Party In Your Pants is a festival all its own. There will be neon paint and pens to doodle yourself and to make new friends as you doodle them. There will be colour and chaos, and places to escape them. Party In Your Pants is a technicolour refill of our faith in humanity. Be topless or not, we don't care. Pants are compulsory, though. Your ticket price includes an all night cloakroom multipass, so you can disrobe at your own pace. Our event is about embracing your inner toddler, so please leave your kinks at home. We are a password protected, desexualised and fiercely anti-harassment safe space club night. For those new to us, listen up: Party In Your Pants is an INCLUSIVE feminist event. We understand that predators are what threaten trans and cis women, non binary people and other cis men. We are a hostile environment for predators, transphobes, racists and anyone else who believes that some people are entitled to fewer human rights than others. For everyone else, welcome aboard the Good Ship Pantopia. This venue is wheelchair accessible and free PA passes are available on request. Email hello@partyinyourpants.co.uk or message us on our socials for specific access requirements and passwords. We can't wait to see you on the dancefloor!Read more

About Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington is a district in the London Borough of Hackney. It is 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Charing Cross. Stoke Newington can be roughly defined by the N16 postcode area (though this also includes parts of Stamford Hill and the almost extinct district of Shacklewell). Its southern boundary with Dalston is quite ill-defined too. For one small district, Stoke Newington is endowed with a generous amount of open space. To its north, there is the extensive West Reservoir, now a non-working facility, but open for leisure and surrounded by greenspace. South of there is Clissold Park, an extensive swathe of parkland complete with a small menagerie, aviary and Clissold Mansion, a Grade II listed building. Stoke Newington is a very multicultural area.
