Living in Stoke Newington

Church Street is a hotspot for places to eat out. Acoustic Brasserie is a unique family-run restaurant serving delicious Mediterranean breakfast and brunch.  

 If you’re looking for something for dinner try Rasa, a small and cosy restaurant known for South Indian vegetarian food. For quick lunches and light bites try Green Room Cafe and Flower Store or grab a much needed coffee from Caffeine Fix. 

Stoke Newington School and Sixth Form, Grasmere Primary School, and Princess May Primary School are just some that are rated ‘good’ by Ofsted. There are also options for private schools nearby including South Hampstead High School and Beis Rochel D'Satmar School. 

Unique shops, grocers, bakeries, fishmongers, and delis line the High Street and Church Street. For mainstream food shops Sainsbury's Local, Tesco Express, and Morrisons are all within easy reach. A weekly farmers market takes place on the High Street every Saturday, where you can shop for organic, fresh produce.
