11 Fun Things To Do This Weekend In London

Cloudstreet

Stoke Newington has a new neighbourhood spot worth knowing about. Tucked inside a stable yard on a quiet side street, Cloudstreet is run by Georgia Lahiff and Frank Guest, who met while working at 10 William Street in Sydney before moving on to Lyle’s, Trinity and Leila’s Shop. The small, daily-changing menu is almost entirely made in-house, with a relaxed feel reminiscent of Towpath. Don’t miss the giant jars of help-yourself cornichons.

Unit 4, 1 Bouverie Rd, N16 0AH
