Stoke Newington is a prized area of 'authentic' London with original boutiques, coffee shops, farmers market and restaurants. Famous past residents include the novelist Daniel Defoe. Today you are likely to see tomorrow's major celebrities wandering among the alternative medicine and health food shops. Retaining the feel of an old village high street, Church Street is a popular meeting place where traditional pubs rub shoulders with trendy bars and restaurants. An area full of character and interest - this is the real London for holiday makers who perhaps don't just want to see the tourist attractions. Access to central London is very easy on the 73 bus which will take you to Islington, Kings Cross, Oxford Street and on to Victoria station (a sight seeing tour in itself).
