Ziferblat (Shoreditch)

• Ziferblat started in Russia as Pocket Poetry classic poetry was put on tiny laminated cards and left for passers by to find and pop into their pockets
• Payment was voluntary and a suitcase was left near the entrance for donations
• That was such a success that the Tree House is now Ziferblat HQ and many more "
• We went for Harold who was a little stuffy
• It's a lovely little touch (of which there are many) that makes a stay in Ziferblat even more pleasant
• We got involved with a venn diagram project on Sane/Single/Crazy/Attached men that some ladies near us had undertaken
• It does have that hippy commune vibe going on (especially when you are washing up in the kitchen)
• Board games are even available
• You can get one free with their loyalty card
• Then write your name on the sheet with the time you came in
• 5 layer dip by Alexandra Kalinowski and couscous with roasted vegetables by Ellie
• On the junction with Shoreditch High Street
• You'll see a non descript shopfront with a door to the flat upstairs
• The lovely David will help you with whatever you need
• This Ziferblat concept was founded by Ivan Meetin in Moscow as a community for poets aspiring to progress their work
• Ziferblat has 14 venues around the world and I was very pleased to have spent some time here with a lovely bunch of blogger ladies organised by Zomato
• You are allowed to use the kitchen which is equipped with microwave
• Homey room filled with all comforts
