Err, I Think the Buses are Laughing at Dalston

01.29.2013 by She Loves London // 6 Comments

As if the cliché ridden magazine articles and reviews weren’t bad enough when it comes to quietly poking fun at Dalston and surrounds, now even the BUSES are at it.

The bus stopping at Dalston Junction Station (lol)

LOL yourself, WORLD.

With this and the reports of late night revelers weeing and chucking up in the street, isn’t it time someone wrote something nice about the Dalston for a change?

I’ll start:

“I like it when you go past Super Kebab on Kingsland Road in the evening and the police are all lined up in there getting their dinner.”

There. See? That wasn’t so hard. Give it a go sometime, London.

Have you been on an “LOL Dalston Junction” bus? Do you know why it’s there? TELL ME.

    I’ll give it a go! I don’t live anywhere near Dalston, but we landed up there one night and went to the Hidden Cave Garden & Bistro which was so good that we’d definitely drive out there again just for their pasta.

      Hurrah! Nicely done. I’ve not been there, but will give it a go next time I’m in the market for a spag bol.

    Dalston is too cool for me. everyone there is super cool and that scares me and makes me feel inferior… I do however have a very good friend living in Dalston… but I knew her before she was super cool, so thats ok.

    So my nice thing to say about Dalston is…. ‘You live there’ 🙂

      YEAH I DO! Also, says the person who lives in Peckham. It’s only a matter of time, Haimo. Only a matter of time before you’re cooled out of the Rye. Muchos gracias for the kind words 🙂

    Dalston has the best fabric shop I’ve ever found anywhere in the world.
