A big canalside warehouse bar in Hackney Wick — events, terrace seating, and rotating food pop-ups, with the area's industrial roughness as the whole appeal rather than a drawback. Drink whatever local craft beer is pouring and check which pop-up is cooking, since the food rotates. Summer afternoons belong to the canalside terrace; winter pushes the action inside for events. It makes a good first stop before exploring the rest of Hackney Wick's scattered warehouse spots — a roomy, easygoing base on the water that captures the neighbourhood's converted-industrial character.
