HACKNEY
13 streets tracked across the borough
Hackney's trendy reputation is recent — this was industrial, working-class East End for most of its history, and both versions still sit side by side.
Genuinely green for an inner-city borough (Victoria Park, London Fields do the work) with almost no Underground — Overground, buses, and bikes fill in.
The flip side is real: rents have climbed hard, and converted warehouse flats sit a street from older council estates.
Haggerston Rail Station is closest, 1 min on foot.
