This Hackney neighbourhood is still independent: it's a friendly, left-wing and slightly richer area of the London. Full of creative people and blessed with legendary pubs like 'the Hen & Chickens theatre and comedy bar', the area is an alternative cultural hub. Housing in Stoke Newington is expensive. Many properties rent for as much as £300-400 per week, but you can find studio apartments suitable for students for around £150 per week, if you look hard. The area itself is quite pretty and has a classic 'Victorian feel', especially along Church Street. Living in Stoke Newington is convenient for those studying at London Metropolitan University, based in Holloway. In terms of transport it is connected to the wider city by Stoke Newington Station (Overground) or Manor House Station (Piccadilly line).

Interesting points

The Castle Climbing centre, a ridiculously beautiful climbing centre on the edge of the old reservoir. It was originally a water-pump station... designed to look like a Highlands Scottish castle.
