Local Tips
Caribbean and African delis on Poplar High Street between 2nd Ave and 3rd Ave are the real deal — staff know the older residents by name
Poplar High Street has genuine character but can feel rough at night; stick to well-lit areas after dark
Best Exits
Exit onto Poplar High Street heading west for the local shops and life
Exit east towards the quieter residential streets and Langdon Park
