More about Haggerston

Greater London, England

Haggerston sits snugly in North East London with a character that feels like it was invented by a comedian who loved jazz. The Nelly Duff has been hosting gigs for years, keeping things lively without needing a megaphone. It is a spot where you can catch a show and leave feeling like you've just attended the most sensible party of the year. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting around these parts. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening. Not bad for a Tuesday, really.
