London Fields Lido is a 50m Olympic size wonder of an outdoor pool within Hackney. Not only is this pool heated all year round, it is also makes for the perfect picnic spot to bring any of your little ones.
Pophams Home blends craft, quality, and a love for British design in its curated collection of homewares. Each piece – whether it’s a hand-carved butter dish, a beeswax bread bag, or a walnut-handled kitchen knife – is a celebration of independent makers. Beyond stylish kitchen essentials, you’ll find Cornish-made pasta, artisanal hot sauces, and locally sourced honeys for the pantry. A spotlight on craftsmanship, it also offers a modern twist on timeless design for those who appreciate the beauty of well-made things.
Pophams was the first of its kind when it opened its original outpost in Islington in 2017. It pushes the boundaries of pastry – the Marmite swirl (with Schlossberger cheese, spring onion and sesame seeds) is a revelation. And in the evening its warehouse-style London Fields restaurant is full of diners sharing plates of rich pumpkin cappelletti and ox-cheek cannelloni. The range of homewares is also charming.
When you've got a neighborhood spot like LARDO at your doorstep, we'd never leave. Pizza, pasta, and natural wine; now that's a combination we won't complain about. A spot for lovers, families, or raucous friends, LARDO promises good vibes, and, what is more, delicious food. Their antipasti is a must; share a few with a glass or two before embarking on the secondi!
The Spurstowe Arms is an avant-garde pub that serves Modern European and classic Brit dishes. Of course, we recommend their Sunday Roast but also suggest that you visit them for a Margarita on the rocks or a Bellini Spritz on their gorgeous terrace.
