Welcome to Stoke Newington

“Stokey” as locals affectionately call it, is one of North London’s most charming and character-filled neighbourhoods. With its leafy streets, independent shops, and relaxed ‘villagey’ feel, it’s the perfect blend of city buzz and neighbourhood warmth.

Our local guide: Stoke Newington

At its heart is Clissold Park, a beautiful green space with a lake, a small animal enclosure, and the elegant Clissold House cafĂ©. It’s a favourite spot for families, runners, and anyone looking to escape the city bustle.

Running through the neighbourhood, Church Street is lined with independent shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Foodies flock to Sonora Taquería, widely regarded as one of London’s best spots for authentic Mexican tacos. Nearby, Cafe Z offers a cosy setting for Turkish breakfast and speciality coffee.

For a classic pint, The Auld Shillelagh is an institution, often hailed as one of the best Irish pubs in London, pouring the perfect Guinness in a lively atmosphere. The Red Lion and The White Hart are also local favourites, offering craft beer, great food, and welcoming spaces for a laid-back drink.
