We had a great 4 night stay with Jodi (and lulu!) in their lovely flat. Interesting area with lots of history. We are now reading a couple of books by Iain Sinclair, which focus on Hackney so we will be keen to return and delve into the area further. There are also good transport links to other bits of London. Jodi was really friendly and informative, with good eating recommendations and a much appreciated tip to get to the lido early for a Sunday morning swim. There were massive queues by the time we left!
