Once a forgotten East London suburb, Hackney is now one of London’s most exciting and fastest growing areas.

Massively contributing to its popularity are the magnificent parks and open spaces found in the borough.

A vast range of property can be found in Hackney, including glorious period architecture, converted spaces, lofts/warehouses, ex-local authority flats and striking new builds.  

In recent years infrastructure has hugely improved, bringing an influx of new residents and creative industries to the borough; it now has a thriving arts scene, buzzing markets, bars, clubs and restaurants.

Education has excelled in recent years – both in primary and secondary schooling. Two of the most successful City Academies are in Hackney.

Regeneration is still very much in process. Due for completion in 2015 is the Hackney Fashion Hub, which will make Hackney one of the best retail destinations around.

The long term benefits of buying in Hackney are endless; the area is currently being seen by its residents – whether first/second or third time buyers – as a long term lifestyle choice.
