My Hackney, My Hackney!

"This is MY HACKNEY

And I’d have it no other way!"

 

"My Hackney, My Hackney", a poem sent in by Tianna from Cardinal Pole School, has made us want to find out what you love and hate about our very own Hackney! Is there anything you would change or anything you would like to see more of in Hackney? What ever your views, we want to hear them!

"Where else in London do you have such a full on mix of culture (Ridley Road Market / Dalston junction), history (take a walk up the Narrow Way to the medieval St John’s Tower, walk through the Victorian graveyard, past the Georgian Town Houses, past the 15th Century Sutton House, and end up facing the 1960’s block that houses Homerton Boys Technology College), beautiful landscapes (The Lea Valley), where urban decay (unfortunately too numerous to mention) meets quiet village greens (De Beauvoir and Clapton Squares)."
