London area of Hackney guide
What to do and where to stay in London's Hackney neighbourhood
This area is usually labelled as one of the poorer ends of London, but Hackney has a bustling street life that transcends its reputation. With no Tube station and few hotels nearby, Hackney has a real life of its own and the thrilling clubs, bars, music venues and theatres attract talented people from all over the world looking for a place in London where their skills will be appreciated. Hackney Empire is the greatest survivor of the cockney Music Hall tradition and has the best and most raucous pantomime in London every Christmas. Stoke Newington Church Street offers eclectic array of specialist shops, cafes and ethnic restaurants. London’s art scene, pushed out of Hoxton by rising prices, has settled into the area around Dalston, where Victorian warehouses have become galleries, studios and squats for rising stars.
