Geographical Information
In the London Borough of Hackney, the GIS team is responsible for giving the Council and the community access to geographic information regarding the Borough. One of the ways we do this is by using new web technologies to not only give the public direct access to the mapping and geographic data held by the Council, but to also deliver an interactive and easy to use web mapping resource.
The main areas covered by the GIS team are:
Hackney Where
The.Hackney Where Application provides information about where you live using an address. The address can either be a postcode, street name, building name,street number or any combination of the addresses.
Interactive Mapping
The interactive capabilities of the Map.Hackney site which provides information on a wide range of datasets by creating your own maps using the mapping application.
Map Gallery
A repository of downloadable pdf and image format maps that can be printed from your desktop.
LLPG
The Local Land and Property Gazetteer. A major Council project to provide a definitive and unambigous identification of all land and property within the borough and unify all Council systems in terms of addresses.
Metadata
An advanced searchable engine of geographic data held by the GIS team.
