Island Grill in Dalston got closed down because the residents in the new build behind Dalson station were complaining about the smoke, and then the council got involved. A bad side of gentrification powering it's way through London n tearing down culture n peoples livelihood.
I remember some time back i just finished footy, and a girl i was seeing told me to come over because she made me some food. So i drove from Hackney to Holloway road and when i got there she made me chicken coujons n chips. The gesture was lovely, but i knew we had no future.
