    Nice vid but missed out Dalston, Ridley Road, Hoxton...this is just all the gentrified places! I feel like it only shows one side of the borough, but still talks about how it's a culture based on diversity? In many ways Hackney is improving but the gentrification is driving out the actual diversity and original culture :((

    Although its a well presented video Near the end you said hackney was 'a whole community based on diversity'...where was the 'diversity' shown in this vid? As someone born and raised in dalston this seems just like it was an ad for high earning hipsters to move in....if i'm wrong then by all means let me and other viewers know but there's more to hackney than vegan cafes and gastro pubs!

    Lived in Hackney for 10 years moved there right before the 2011 riots. The gentrification improved the area as brought some really nice cafes to the area and made everywhere feel really nice and lively but also that meant it brought in trendy trust fund kids living on mum and dads bank account. Rent prices ridiculously high.

      I would say check out the area where you are thinking of moving like neighbourhood community etc.. just like you would at any other place you would like to live.

      Thank you dear for replying. The thing is that I am from west London and never been to Hackney before. I have been looking at CZcams channels and reading reviews. Everyone has different options on hackney and I have seen a one bedroom flat in E2 8LN and I have no idea if it’s the roughest side of the Hackney or average. I have no idea where else to do my research.
      But God bless you for taking some time out to reply.

      More middle class people have moved there and very nice little shops and coffee shops have opened up now.
      It is a lovely place to live and friendly too with open parks and narrow boats and walk ways not too far from Lea bridge Road.

    I love capitalism so the promotion of commerce and property is okay with me. The only issue is the deliberate absence of factual street life in Hackney. Prolific amounts of stabbings, assaults, robberies, drug dealing, shootings and acid attacks.
