Hackney: the place - The City
Hackney is on the doorstep of the City. Over the last decade Hackney’s proximity to the multi-national financial institutions and their wealth has started to make a difference.
New people have moved in – attracted by a short journey to work and in some cases cheaper housing than other parts of London in others.
Major investors have cast an eye east – and Hackney’s Academies programme now has high profile sponsors including KPMG, UBS and the City of London.
