The History of Hackney
(London borough of Hackney, East London E8, Greater London)

The London Borough of Hackney is a London borough of North London, and forms part of inner London. The local authority is Hackney London Borough Council.

The south western tip of the borough is adjacent to the City and close to the Broadgate development. In this area some office development has taken place within the borough boundary. Also in the south west is Hoxton and Shoreditch which are central to the London arts scene and home to numerous clubs, bars, shops and restaurants, much of which is centred on Hoxton Square.

The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and surrounding the Church of St John-at-Hackney; known as Hackney Central. Hackney Town Hall Square has been developed as a new 'creative quarter'.
