About

De Beauvoir is a residential ward in north Hackney, characterised by its grid of Victorian and Georgian terraced streets. The area centres on De Beauvoir Square, a private garden surrounded by large stucco-fronted houses. It is primarily a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood with a mix of long-term residents and newer arrivals. The architectural consistency of the housing stock gives the area a distinct and orderly feel.

The area's eastern boundary is marked by the Regent's Canal, which provides a walking and cycling route. Local life focuses on a small cluster of independent shops, cafes, and pubs along Southgate Road and De Beauvoir Crescent. The annual De Beauvoir Garden Festival in private squares is a notable community event. It remains a distinctly separate enclave from the busier commercial centres of Dalston and Islington nearby.
