About

Hackney Marshes is a large area of open grassland located in the London Borough of Hackney, bordered by the River Lea to the east. The landscape is dominated by expansive playing fields, with numerous football pitches laid out in a grid-like pattern. The area is primarily used for organised sports, hosting amateur and youth leagues throughout the year, making it a significant hub for community football in London.

The marshes are crisscrossed by several waterways, including the River Lea Navigation and the Hackney Cut canal. Paths run alongside these channels, used for walking and cycling as part of the wider Lea Valley trail network. A notable feature is the presence of the former ice house, a circular brick structure near the Old River Lea that once stored ice harvested from the surrounding waterways in winter for use in warmer months.
