Hackney is full of independent cafes, bars, galleries, shops and markets. This East End area is international, dynamic, inventive and rich in history. It's also one of the greenest areas of London, with canals and rivers - kayaking and even horse-riding possible here.<br /><br />We are near London Fields with the always popular Broadway Market on Saturday and also Chatsworth Road Market which takes place on Sunday.<br />It is three-minutes walk to Hackney Downs park, a large open green space. And a 10-minute walk to London Fields which is a great park with an outdoor heated swimming pool, tennis courts, great pubs, playgrounds. Walk through it and arrive at Broadway Market (Saturdays only), which is known for its organic food and vintage goods – a nice place to hang out for a coffee.<br /><br />Just round the corner from the flat is Lower Clapton Road – full of useful food shops, cafes, general stores. And a few streets away is Chatsworth Road which is becoming a competitor to Broadway
