“I feel right at home living in Hackney, even though I am originally from Greece. You can be yourself, wear what you like and always feel welcome.

The multicultural spirit shines through in the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee and Michelin star dining to parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone.

Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway Market are full of community energy, great food and local makers.

The marshes are ideal for dog walks, and nearby you can stop by the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer.

Homes range from Victorian and Georgian houses to red brick local authority blocks and modern developments with shared roof terraces.

I have truly found my place in Hackney, and it holds a special spot in my heart”. Eva bouzaki Hackney branch manager
