Writing hotspots in Highbury and Stoke Newington

1. The writing tree in Clissold Park – an ancient horse chestnut on a little mound in the south west corner of the park 2. Genesis Cafe on Blackstock Road (fast wireless internet and good coffee) 3. The no. 29 bus between Finsbury Park and Camden Town (but only if you get a seat) 4. The table near the window in that little cafe whose name I can’t remember on the corner of Lordship Road and Stoke Newington Church Street 5. The cafe of the Clissold Leisure Centre. Though not the tables near the counter. 6. The front seats of the 141 bus between Clissold Park and Old Street.
