"If clubs are impersonal, sticky-floored sweatboxes, Diddy’s is the anti-club. There’s a basement-level ‘pink’ room which is covered in sateen, shimmering fabrics, and cackling friends who may or may not be wearing feather boas. On winter nights it’s like a house party, on summer nights it’s like a block party, and by your third visit the bar staff at this Mare Street spot in Hackney will most likely know your name. Plus, the drinks are strong and reasonably priced." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
