Described in Time Out earlier this year as a place where “high art and innovation meet”, Hackney in east London, with Shoreditch and Hoxton round the corner, has dozens of independent shops, cafes and markets.
These include Broadway Market – “a bustling hub for Hackney hipsters and East End creatives” according to Time Out – Chatsworth Road Market and the oldest of them all, Hoxton Street Market, established in 1687.
