https://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/dalston-area-guide- A guide to the area Manning.J, 04/10/21- within the first line of something supposedly being a guide to the area and its hotspots, the writer begins with “Dalston’s not what it used to be”, and now instead of being an area renowned for cutting edge, stand out fashion that it was known as years ago, the only thing the area serves well for is a decent night out and good food, also naming it for being “ a bit too expensive to live in” – pointing towards the cost of living crisis, or possibly gentrification.
