Mooching
A road full of bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants, with a park (London Fields) at the top, and the canal at the bottom. Check out Off-Broadway for cocktails (and there's often music in the basement), the Cat & Mutton pub, the Dove beer house, NTs rooftop bar and club... You can just walk along the road and see what you fancy. The market itself is on Saturday day but it's worth going anytime.
