London Stories...Dalston Garden

Dalston Garden is one of those London charming secret little places that win your heart at first glance. I discovered it by accident, few weeks ago when garden hosted one of the Oxjam gigs. Utterly adorable performance of Cat Meat (followed by The Black Fields and The Midnight Barbers) by the light of pumpkin candles and cup of dark chocolate with rum created such a surreal atmosphere. Well, soon as you step from not so pretty Dalston railway station to this loveliness, you feel like you are flying on the cloud of some imaginary world. Not to mention that pizza I tried that night was on one the best I’ve ever had in my life. (Of course made of ingredients that are growing in the garden.) 

The Garden has been created in 2010 on the old Eastern Curve railway line. The architectural collective Exyzt built a spacious wooden garden pavilion for events, workshops and gatherings. A super cool thing about garden is that anyone can take part in maintenance of this super cool world, especially keen gardeners. Sounds perfect for all those plant lovers living on concrete without their own piece own piece of land.

Dearest readers and fellow bloggers, 

I spent few last days rambling through various flatshare webites and contacting friends and friends of the friends via facebook trying to organize my living in London. I want to thank all the wonderful and friendly people helping with advices. I am flying to London by the end of this September. I will be there for at least two months to attend course at Central Saint Martins. 

Therefore I am looking for the room from beginning of October. If you know maybe someone who needs a roommate or you need a roommate, please let me know, via comments or my email (ninablace@gmail.com) 

I am friendly, responsible and easygoing fashion writer looking for a room in East London area in a flatshare or house with normal, cool roommates. My only needs are bed to sleep and meditate, wifi if possible and tiny desk for writing. I am going to be in London for at least two months, but who knows maybe I’ll stay longer. 

I hope London will be nice to me. I am leaving blank, without any expectations but with positive attitude. I have so many things to do before my trip but I am already too excited and nervous to be focused.

Yours truly, 

Nina xx

p.s. in this search of my place for living, usually I end up on websites offering flats at Notting Hill or  residential properties from heaven like these from estate agents scotland.

Oh, seems that we need to make some money :)
