London Borough of Hackney

城市概覽

Hackney staged some of the events during the 2012 London Summer Olympics such as hockey in the Lea Valley Arena and hosted the world's media. Many of the big events happened in the nearby Olympic Stadium and VeloPark. This was a hot spot for tourists and locals during the action. In the far north of the district near Stoke Newington, Stamford Hill and Woodberry Downs is the centre of the Hasidic and Adeni Jewish communities in London and the largest in Europe. A visit here certainly provides a very different cultural experience to anywhere else in Britain. Hackney is also known for its wide open green spaces such as Hackney Marshes, (home of 88 football pitches) being the most notable and known as the spiritual home of grass roots soccer in the UK.

當地交通

The best way to get around the borough is to walk, cycle or get buses. The many parks and green spaces dotted around make Hackney much nicer to walk around than its inner London location would suggest, and local residents often cycle via the many routes of London’s Cycleways. Both Lime and Voi operate dockless e-bikes in the borough. As of October 2025, Voi rides within Hackney are capped at £1.75 for 30 minutes. Dockless bicycles need to be parked in the bays designated for cycle hire bicycles.
