About

Hackney Wick is a ward in East London, primarily defined by the industrial and artistic transformation of its post-industrial landscape. The area sits on a complex junction of waterways, bordered by the River Lea, the Lee Navigation, and the Hertford Union Canal. This network of canals and former factory sites now hosts a high concentration of artist studios, creative workspaces, and repurposed warehouses, giving the area its distinct character. The built environment is a mix of modern residential developments and low-rise industrial units.

The ward is anchored by the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to its south, a legacy of the 2012 Games which continues to influence local development. Hackney Wick station provides a key transport link via the London Overground. The area's social fabric is closely tied to its creative economy, with many venues and businesses operating from converted industrial buildings. The towpaths along the canals serve as central pedestrian routes, connecting the various workspaces, cafes, and housing estates within this densely built area.
