Things to do in Hackney

About Hackney

Hackney is officially the greenest borough in London, with London Fields and Victoria Park both particularly popular come the summer. The administrative hub is the area around Hackney Central, and it typifies the new-look Hackney. There’s the elegant ‘30s Town Hall, a massive 24-hour Tesco, a 13th century church tower, some beautiful Victorian terraces, and a number of council blocks. Truly Hackney has something for everyone.

What's on in Hackeny

Hackney is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse boroughs in London. Cheap rent means the area also hosts a number of artists’ studios and galleries. There are some lovely local pubs, a world famous theatre in the Hackney Empire, and great Vietnamese and Turkish restaurants. Broadway Market keeps the trendies happy, and, whilst Hackney might not boast a widely popular music venue, it’s only a short walk to the bright lights of Shoreditch.
