Get Hackney [pros|landscapers]

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being a part of east London, with northern and western locations deemed to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this plan assigns Hackney towards the ‘East’ sub-region, while the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively. Hackney is bounded by Islington to the west, Haringey to the north, Waltham Forest towards the north-east, Newham to the east, Tower Hamlets towards the south-east as well as the City of London to the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. As outlined by population estimates from 2014, the borough has a permanent population of about 263150 people. Much of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such locations as Dalston big housing estates have been joined by newly created gated communities. In South Hackney, close to Victoria Park, terraced Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian housing still survives. To the north of the borough are Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. Light industries in the area around the River Lea employ over 3000 personnel. Some of the area was employed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
