Explore Hackney

Known for

Broadway Market (one of London's most celebrated independent markets), London Fields, the extraordinary arts and creative scene, Victoria Park, and one of London's most dynamically creative and culturally diverse boroughs

A little history

Hackney has been transformed over the past two decades from one of London's most deprived boroughs into one of its most creative. The 2012 Olympics legacy at Stratford borders the borough. The area has attracted artists, musicians and creative businesses who have built extraordinary institutions from Arcola Theatre to Brilliant Corners.

📍 Local tip

Broadway Market on Saturdays is one of London's great market experiences — independent food, produce and creative businesses at their best. London Fields for the lido in summer. Victoria Park for the east London countryside. Ridley Road for the real market.
