South Hackney London Map

About South Hackney

South Hackney, a district within London's borough of Hackney, presents a character of settled, enduring neighbourhoods. It lies 4.3 km north-east of City of London (from City of London: bearing 48°T, OS grid TQ 355 841). Though now thoroughly urbanised, the very bones of its past can be felt in the occasional wider street that hints at older thoroughfares, and the dappled light filtering through mature trees lining residential avenues. Its history is one of gradual growth, not dramatic upheaval, a quiet accretion of dwellings around ancient routes. Churches, their spires often glimpsed above the rooftops, stand as silent witnesses to centuries of community life, their stone weathered by countless London fogs and rains. The air here, especially on a still afternoon, can carry a faint murmur of distant traffic, yet within its many squares and gardens, a surprising quietude often prevails.
