The movie Run Fatboy Run directed by Friends actor David Schwimmer was filmed in Dalston E8. St Mark’s Church that was used as one of the filming locations is the largest parish church in London. The construction started in 1864 and took two years.
The former prime minister of UK, Tony Blair, used to live in Dalston E8. Actresses Emily Lloyd and Diane Morgan lived here as well. Actors Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are other notable residents.
Dalston is an area that attracts a lot of young people mostly because it has a wide range of venues and is near the city centre. Known as Britain’s one of the coolest places, Dalston is popular for its music venues and vibrant nightlife.
London Fields Park is the only park in Dalston. It is somewhat small and an excellent place for children and leisure walks.
It’s a multicultural area because of the settlers coming from Poland, Turkey, and other countries.
