A little about Hackney.

During the Tudor period, the lands of religious orders were seized by the Crown and put up for sale. Thus Hackney became a retreat for the nobility around Hackney Central and Homerton. Henry VIIIs Palace was by Lea Bridge roundabout. Sutton House, on Homerton High Street, is the oldest surviving dwelling in Hackney, originally built in 1535 as Bryck Place for a diplomat. The village of Hackney flourished from the Tudor to late Georgian periods as a rural retreat.

The first documented hackney coach, the forerunner of the hackney carriage, operated in London in 1621. Current opinion is that the name hackney, refers to a London taxi and is derived from the village name. Hackney is associated with high stepping horses and horse drawn carriages and is the root of the French word haquenee, a term used for a small breed of horse, and the Sardinian achetta horse. Construction of the railway in the 1850s ended Hackneys rural reputation by connecting it to other parts of the city and stimulating development.

Londons first Tudor theatres were built at Shoreditch. The Gunpowder Plot was first exposed nearby in Hoxton.

The parish church of St John at Hackney was built in 1789, replacing the nearby former 16th century parish church dedicated to St Augustine. It was demolished in 1798.

Notable residents from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries included Robert Aske, William Cecil, Samuel Courtauld, Samuel Hoare, Joseph Priestley and Thomas Sutton.

Lots of grand houses stood in Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill; the latter neighbourhood became a center of Hackneys many Orthodox Jewish residents from the 1930s. Alfred Hitchcock made many of his first films in Hoxton at the Gainsborough Studios in Poole Street.

Following extensive post war development and immigration since the late 20th century, population pressure has increased and the areas many Georgian and Victorian terraces are being gentrified, warehouses are being converted to housing, and new flats are being built. It was ranked as inner Londons greenest borough and London Transports best bike borough 2006. It has 62 parks and open spaces, covering 815 acres. Seven Hackney parks have now achieved Green Flag status. One, Abney Park, became scheduled in 2009 as one of Britains historic parks and garden at risk from neglect and decay. Hackney Marshes play host to the largest collection of football pitches in Europe. Part of it was used as a site for events of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
