A Brief History
Dalston’s history dates back to the 13th century, though it remained largely rural until the 19th century, when the arrival of the railway spurred rapid urbanisation. The area became a hub for London’s Jewish community in the early 20th century, followed by waves of Caribbean and Turkish immigrants, all of whom left an indelible mark on the neighbourhood’s identity. Today, Dalston is a vibrant multicultural enclave, celebrated for its eclectic influences and creative spirit.
