Stoke Newington in Hackney has it all. Well, except its own tube station, but that needn\u2019t matter when you\u2019re living in one of London\u2019s best locations, serviced by buses aplenty and the Overground. Church Street is where it\u2019s all happening, but you\u2019ll find ample open space in and around this bustling passage to enjoy a little more peace and quiet \u2013 from the beautiful Abney Park Cemetery (one of London\u2019s magnificent seven) to the reservoirs and wetlands, and Clissold Park.<\/p>\n

Coffee<\/h2>\n

Where there\u2019s a large proportion of London hipsters, there are often an inordinate amount of cafes – but how can you tell which serve a good flat white? We recommend the Yellow Warbler<\/strong>, just a little off the beaten track from Stoke Newington High Street, but handily alongside one of the main bus routes into the city and just shy of the station. Small, but perfectly formed, they offer specialty coffee from a limited number of excellent suppliers, and delicious breakfasts. What\u2019s more, if you like dogs as much as you like coffee, do be sure to follow them on Instagram for their careful curation of coffee and pooches on location.

It\u2019s tiny and just over a mile from the flat but if you go through the park, via the swans, and take a short cut through the beautiful Abney Park Cemetery, it\u2019s a pretty awesome journey that ends in good coffee.<\/a><\/p>\n
