Out and about in Hackney feel like taking it easy? No problem, just head for the beautiful Victoria Park, or go wildlife spotting in Lee Valley conservation area. On the other hand, if you're up for a little more activity, you'll find 87 full sized football pitches at Hackney Marshes, or you could head for the West Reservoir Watersports Centre and try your luck on a pair of waterskis.
Shopaholics will also find plenty to keep them occupied, from lively Dalston market to the flagship stores on Oxford Street, just a short bus or tube journey away. Love the nightlife? You will in Hackney, with its theatres, bars and live music venues. There's also the burgeoning contemporary art scene of Hoxton and Shoreditch if you're in the mood for something a little more highbrow. |
