Just across the park is the Hunterian Museum of surgery - not for the squeamish! Discover the art and science of surgery from ancient times to the present day. Including the extraordinary specimen collection of the 18th century surgeon anatomist John Hunter.

Ignore the Bengali/Indian restaurants on Brick Lane ( well they are ok!) and head a bit further south for this busy but delicious Punjabi restaurant. The lamb chops are the best but the whole menu is good. Overground to Whitechapel

城市觀光建議

周邊交通資訊

If possible use contactless payment card or on phone

If you don’t have contactless payment on your card or mobile phone you will have to get an Oyster card from a station and either link to your bank account or top up credit. Travel in London isn’t cheap but oyster or contactless will cap your maximum charge each day. We are well served by London overground with quick connections from Dalston Junction to Victoria Line Underground at Highbury and to the Elizabeth Line at Whitechapel. Dalston Kingsland/Hackney Central will take you East to Stratford or West to Camden, Hampstead and Kew Gardens. Buses are cheaper and we are well connected
