Neighbourhood
Hackney is one of London’s most diverse and creative areas, full of energy and character. You’ll find a blend of old and new here — historic buildings, the Regent's canal sit alongside independent cafes, art galleries, and some of the city’s best street food.
Broadway Market, a fifteen minute walk away, comes alive every Saturday and Sunday with fresh produce, local crafts, and food from around the world. It’s a great spot to grab a coffee, browse the stalls, or pick up something tasty for lunch before heading to London Fields or Victoria Park for a walk or picnic.
You’ll also be close to lively neighbourhoods like Dalston, Shoreditch, and Hoxton, known for their buzzing nightlife, art spaces, and creative scene.
For anyone who loves the outdoors, Hackney has plenty to offer — you can swim year-round at the London Fields Lido or the Olympic pool, and there are great routes for cycling or walking right from your doorstep.
It’s the ideal base for experiencing the best of East London — vibrant, cultural, and full of personality.
Getting to my home
The apartment block is directly at Hackney Downs/Hackney Central overground station.
Nearest airport
We find Stansted airport to be convenient although Gatwick and Heathrow are also easy to get to
Getting Around
There is a supermarket directly opposite, but there are lots more supermarkets and other shops within a five minute walk. Hackney Downs overground is a 2 minute walk away and provide an excellent 8 minute transport link to Liverpool Street station. There are also bus-stops outside the block with frequent services into central London.
