Welcome to the ultimate guide to getting the most out of Hackney – whether you’re a visitor to London or a local resident.
The borough boasts a relaxed café culture spreading from Broadway Market to Stoke Newington; a cutting edge music scene, bars and nightlife from Shoreditch to Dalston; restaurants featuring global cuisine from Venice to Vietnam; internationally renowned art galleries, including the White Cube; more green space than any other inner London borough, and almost one third of the Olympic Park.
Hackney is the real heart of London; where the historic East End meets the Olympic future, right on the edge of the City. A place to live, a place to work, a place to see and to be seen. A place where communities from all over the world have settled for centuries, the ultimate global village, playing host to the ultimate global event in 2012.
Destination Hackney will help you find out more about: places to eat and drink; nightlife; shopping; events and what's on; accommodation; health and fitness; family days out and much more besides, so watch this space …
"Hackney is truly a progressive and unique cultural environment."
