How to find mum friends in Dalston

Dalston has a young, transient population and a lot of parents who moved here before children and stayed. The Eastern Curve Garden is the single best place to meet them — it is small, sheltered and quiet enough to actually have a conversation, which is rare around here.

Where parents in Dalston actually meet

• Dalston Eastern Curve Garden — small, sheltered and quiet enough for a real conversation.
• Ridley Road market, best earlier in the day with a pram.
• Clissold Park, a short walk north and much bigger.

None of this needs an introduction or a committee. Pick one, go at roughly the same time twice, and you will start recognising people — which is most of the battle.

How ParentGO helps

• Arrange a meet-up. Post a time and a place and see who is free.
• Message a parent directly. A conversation at a class does not have to end when the class does.
• Ask a local question. Which class is worth the money, where to go in Dalston when it has rained for three days.

It is free to join, you choose how much you share, and dads, grandparents and carers use it too.
