Where to eat and drink in Hackney, chosen on merit.
Hackney is east London's creative engine: a sprawl of warehouse bars, canal-side pubs and some of the most exciting cooking in the city, spread from London Fields to the marshes. It is young, independent-minded and always moving, and it rewards anyone willing to explore beyond the obvious.
Our Hackney guides gather the best of it, from the neighbourhood's standout restaurants to the bars and pubs worth the trip east. Chosen on merit, for a long weekend brunch or a night among the arches.
