Far superior curry to what you get on Brick Lane. Beware of the queues on popular nights (most nights except Monday and Sunday really). You can maybe avoid queues if you arrive before 6.30-7pm.

A beautiful walk along the canal. When it's not too busy, you forget you're in the middle of London. Walk it from Haggerston down to Camden at least, drink, eat and relax. Or keep going to London zoo!
