Local Tips
Hackney is one of London’s not so hidden gems, it is full of trendy, edgy entertainment spaces for its trendy, edgy residents. Our letting agents love Pophams Bakery for Scandinavian style, artisanal bread, Bread & Truffle, for blow-your-mind focaccia sandwiches, and Pierette, for your daily caffeine fix.
Travel Links in Hackney
Hackney offers a single London Underground station, Manor House, which is on the edge of the borough and which offers Piccadilly line services. There are, however, a range of London Overground stations in the area, for example, Haggerston, Dalston Junction and Hackney Downs. It is proposed that the Crossrail 2 will provide Hackney with its first Underground Station, at Dalston. We also love Hackney Marshes for walks, picnics, and sporting endeavours.
