Sawyer recommends…

Sawyer is situated in the beating heart of hackney, a stones throw from mare st and broadway market where it’s safe to say you can spend a lot of time eating, drinking and shopping.

Heres a list of favourites of mine to check out after that all important fresh haircut.

  1. Broadway Market - this lively area is filled with places to visit. But really comes alive on the weekend when the food market is on. Choose from vendors serving up delicious snacks from all over the world. Wash it all down with a refreshing pint at the Dove or a coffee from climpsons for the perfect day on broadway.

  2. Stranger than Paradise Records - put simply, good records, good service and good instore events. This record shop based in mare street market is a must visit for all you audiophiles out there. Stocking the best new releases and reissues take a look after your next haircut and thank us later. Just make sure to take the credit card as you will most definitely find something new to listen too. https://www.strangerthanparadiserecords.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoowvTEEdaa0lp9hkAseTEK_AeG_RTpGDjmBY1GVgDy0JH7LC6PB

  3. Forno - specialising in the finest focaccias in the area, this local eatery is a real gem. There maritozzi are an absolute treat with a top coffee to match. Don’t worry about the calories you can walk it off after on route to Victoria park. Just kick back and enjoy before or after your haircut. https://forno.london/

  4. Ozone coffee roasters - speaking of great coffee these guys are in my opinion the best at what they do. Served however you like it and always rotating their blends for an always excellent taste. Buy your beans here, enjoy the food here, take some calls and work from there. This place has all the bases covered. https://ozonecoffee.co.uk/pages/locations?srsltid=AfmBOoqdCJ9aMFgS6dDmvRKUhvtRCjWiGgDyn1kGKL-_OedZuokXIH56

  5. Knees up - a new addition to the area and home to the inclusive running crew your friendly runners. Hang out after a long run, buy your apparel here and fuel your next long run with there range of Maurten gels available here. A super helpful and friendly team are always on hand and they serve up awesome post run snacks too. https://www.kneesupspace.com/
