Hackney has gone through a recent transformation into a borough with several super trendy hotspots, Shoreditch and Hoxton being of note, which provide a myriad of cultural events, restaurants and nightclubs. While this recent growth has proved beneficial to the area, there are still some pockets of poverty spread throughout the borough.

However, this does not mean that there is a lack of varied accommodation to find throughout the area. You will find luxury Victorian and Georgian houses interspersed with council blocks, and high streets attracting a yuppie population neighbouring with cultural areas steeped in history. There is a wide array of housing options to suit many different lifestyles.
