Great food market on Saturdays and Sundays. Very eclectic selection of food from around the world. Grab a wrap or a kati roll, some beers from the off license and head to the park. I recommend walking down the canal towards Victoria Park.

Neighbourhoods

Hackney is an amazing neighbourhood. Multicultural, creative and vibrant with the perfect balance of old and new. It is safe and friendly. It has been the home of African and Caribbean immigrants, artists and the LGBTQ community for generations.

旅行者建议

出行

Getting to Central London

Walk to Hackney Downs Station (3min walk), take the train to Liverpool Street and connect to the underground for the Central/Metropolitan/Hammersmith and Circle lines. Or walk to Hackney Central Station(5min walk), take the train to Highbury and Islington and connect to the underground for the Victoria line.
出行

Travelcards

I definitely recommend getting a weekly travelcard for Zones 1 and 2 (£38). This will cover you for overground, underground and bus services. Seems like an expense but is the most economical way to get around the city. Also, I recommend downloading the Citymapper app to help you navigate the city. It gives you the most effective routes to any destination.

Public transport etiquette

Always respect the queue before boarding the bus. When taking escalators always stand on your right!
