About Hackney

The London borough of Hackney offers the trendy atmospheres of Hoxton, Shoreditch and Hackney Central, as well as easy access to the City and central London.

Hackney is a vibrant and diverse area that perfectly blends creative energy with community spirit, making it one of London’s most exciting places to live. Known for its eclectic mix of independent shops, trendy cafes, and lively markets like Broadway Market, Hackney is a hub for culture and innovation. The area is rich in green spaces, including the expansive Victoria Park and the peaceful London Fields, offering a welcome escape from the urban bustle. With excellent transport links, a thriving arts scene, and a strong sense of community, Hackney is an ideal choice for those seeking a dynamic and engaging place to live.

The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Hackney is £1,850 pcm, compared to £2,500 pcm in central London (Stats correct as of September 2024)
