Walk 2: Dalston to Shoreditch

Yesterday I went East again (walk 1 to come soon). During my wandering around, I came across : the Arcola Theatre,  a specialist Japanese cycle shop ( I felt like buying one, maybe next time ), the Eastern Curve Garden but it was closed, then a lovely new place:Velvet Marie , There are delicious coffee and cakes there. Then I asked Marie and Kirsty (playful accessories) suggestions on where to go next. (rule is i don’t prepare where I will go, just land in a train station and improvise from there)

They suggested to walk until the Geffrye Museum:

Especially for someone who is not born in England, it is very interesting to walk around the various period room and see the houses plan of different English houses during the last centuries.

The architecture, herb garden and shop are wonderful too:

I am still looking for some artist board (not canvas,  ready-to-paint panels primed with acrylic gesso ) in London, i can only order them from Dickblick in the US but would like to find an English shop instead (any suggestions), so I popped in Paintworks. Great sale on Golden acrylics! Then the printspace as I want to frame some artwork for Saatchi Art.

and back to the overground. Next week maybe I will try to walk from London Bridge in the direction of Greenwich or maybe not?
