Dalston () is a district of the London Borough of Hackney in east London, England. Dalston began as a hamlet within the parish of Hackney, which developed on either side of Dalston Lane. As the area urbanised, the term came to apply to surrounding areas including the old centres of Kingsland and Shacklewell, which are now considered part of Dalston. ==Bounds== Dalston has never been an administrative unit, and partly for this reason the boundaries aren't fully defined. There are popularly understood boundaries in the south and west, but its northern and especially eastern extent is not delineated. This is a common situation in London’s neighbourhoods which often merge, overlap and change over time. There is an electoral Ward of the same name which covers a part of the north–west of Dalston. Dalston’s boundaries are described with more or less clarity below: South: Dalston takes Hackney’s southern border with Shoreditch. Albion Drive forms much of this boundary. West: The originally Roman Kingsland Road marks most of Dalston’s western margin. The exception is where Dalston uses Hackney’s western boundary as it crosses the road to take in a small area on the western side of the road. This area, bounded by Boleyn Road and the Crossway, includes Dalston Kingsland Railway Station and is included within the electoral ward. The western boundary closely corresponds with the western side of the E8 postal area with which Dalston is strongly associated – though the postal area also takes in parts of central Hackney that aren’t ever described as belonging to Dalston. North: There isn't a tradition of a clear northern boundary, and Dalston’s close association with the E8 postal area means that, despite its strong retail sector and transport interchanges, its ‘sphere of self-identification’ doesn’t extend much further north than the postcode boundary. Farleigh Road, close to that boundary, is a prominent thoroughfare in the area where Dalston and Stoke Newington’s spheres of self-identification overlap and an approximation of where the two areas meet. East: There is no tradition of an eastern boundary except that it’s sometimes said that Dalston extends as far as the park at London Fields. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dalston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
