About

Hoxton West sits within the London Borough of Hackney, bordered by Old Street to the south and the Regent's Canal to the north. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of social housing estates and converted Victorian terraces. Its commercial activity is concentrated along the bustling thoroughfare of Old Street itself and the quieter, more localised Pitfield Street, which serves the immediate community with independent shops and cafes.

The ward's geography is defined by the Regent's Canal, which forms its northern boundary and provides a distinct linear park. The area includes the historic Hoxton Square, a formal garden surrounded by buildings that now host galleries and businesses. Industrial heritage remains visible in the converted warehouses lining the canal, contrasting with the post-war residential blocks found further south in the ward.
