A compact, modern apartment in the heart of Hackney, this is a solid base for two guests wanting to explore one of East London's most characterful neighbourhoods. The living space is comfortable and the bedroom well set up for a decent night's sleep. Hackney Street Market is right on the doorstep – a great starting point for grazing through local food stalls and independent traders. Board games are on hand for slower evenings in, and the washing machine makes it a practical choice if you're planning a longer visit.

About Hackney
Hackney – the name of this neighbourhood is now more likely to evoke the image of a hipster on a bicycle with a sourdough loaf stuffed in their satchel rather than anything else. Filled with great independent restaurants, cafes and pubs, this part of town is a delight to explore. The green expanses of London Fields and Victoria Park are pretty unbeatable on a summer's day and be sure to check out Broadway Market and Victoria Park Village too, where you'll wander through leafy streets of period houses, and rub shoulders with London's hip young arts and media types.

Eat Pizza made in A Disco Ball Oven
Bob along to Lardo for lunch after a hectic day exploring 'The East'. Hip, industrial-chic pizzeria that is intimate and serves possibly the best pizza in London.
Go for a dip in London Fields Lido
A heated outdoor swimming pool set right in London Fields. This lido has a sun deck and sunbathing area in addition to a lovely café. It's also floodlit so has a lovely evening ambience.
Grab lunch at E5 Bakehouse
The E5 Bakehouse is an East London artisan bakery and coffee shop using baking traditions from their ancestors. They also do weekly bread courses and the Curried Red Lentil Soup is delicious.
Have Breakfast at Violet Bakehouse
Tucked away off Wilton Way is a totally unsuspecting building that is home to one of the best bakeries in east London. This all-female run business is the perfect spot to grab a croissant & coffee.
Experience Foodie Culture at Pidgin
Another stronghold of foodie culture in Hackney, this gastronomic experience is made of a set four course menu changing every week. Stunning and delicious.
Shop & Drop at Paper Dress Vintage
This vintage dress shop has recently moved over from Shoreditch (*Lucky you*) Moonlighting as a late night venue and a place to do workshops such as illustration life drawing, PD offers it all!
Catch a gig at Oslo Hackney
Never mind the band – the food, drink and sound at this Hackney music venue show why London's centre-of-gig gravity is moving to the east.
Soak up the sun at Hackney Downs
One of Hackney's major green spaces, it has been open to the public since 1884. It's a perfect spot to soak up the sun with the family.
Indulge in Pophams' pastries and sourdough delights
Pophams - London Fields is a bright, Scandinavian-style cafe bakery known for its amazing pastries, fluffy sourdough, and perfectly brewed coffee. With friendly staff and a lovely urban ambience, it's the perfect spot to enjoy some treats.
