CANALS & CRAFT BREWERIES

With former factories reclaimed by artists and start-ups, and canalside spots taken by quirky cafés and craft breweries, The Wick is fast becoming one of London’s most important work and cultural hubs.

AUTHENTIC LOCAL BUSINESSES

Just as the makers of the past found freedom in Hackney Wick’s entrepreneurial atmosphere, today’s warehouses are full of people exploring different ways of making their mark – from cutting edge producers making music around the corner at Mainyard Studios, to fine artists, dressmakers and photographers working over at Cell Studios.

EATING & DRINKING

Day or night, Hackney Wick is humming with possibilities. From bustling bars and global eateries to vintage markets, live music and world-class parks, just let your mood be your guide.

THRIVING ARTISTIC COMMUNITY

E9 is alive with ideas and it’s said Hackney Wick now has the highest concentration of artists in Europe, something that’s easy to feel when you wander the buzzing streets and yards.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

With Victoria Park, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hackney Marshes on your doorstep, you can indulge in the best the outdoors can offer. From Row boats and tow paths, to wide green lawns and sports facilities, you don't need to venture far to get that all important fresh air hit.

SHOPPING; HACKNEY WICK STYLE

Across the bridge, on the other side of Victoria Park, Broadway Market offers local makers selling their wares, vintage clothes, books, flowers, coffee, fresh groceries and famously good street food.
