Stoke Newington East & Cazenove

Stoke Newington East and Cazenove form a residential part of north Hackney, bordered by Stoke Newington Church Street to the south and the Lea Valley to the east. The area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, interspersed with postwar social housing estates. Its streets are quieter than the busier central corridors, with a focus on local schools and community facilities like the Clissold Leisure Centre. The eastern edge is defined by the Springfield and Abney Park Cemeteries, which provide extensive green space.

The area is anchored by the historic Abney Park Cemetery, a non-denominational arboretum and a notable example of a Victorian garden cemetery. Local life centres on Cazenove Road's independent shops and cafes, serving a longstanding, diverse community. Transport links are primarily via bus routes, connecting to nearby rail stations. The presence of several synagogues reflects a significant historical Jewish heritage in the neighbourhood, contributing to its distinct local character.
