Markets in Hackney

  • Broadway Market

    Broadway Market, London, E8 4PH

  • Your entry re Netil Market is wrong. What you describe is the Broadway Market overspill, which is in the London Fields primary School yard and is called the Broadway Schoolyard market. I've noticed the same mistake in your magazine articles.

Hackney overview

There's plenty to heart in Hackney, where high art and edgy innovation meet. There are flavours to savour from its lip-smacking restaurants, not to mention world-class coffees (Square Mile coffee beans, anyone?) Quirky, scruffy, sleek or luvvie - the area's bars and pubs suit whatever taste you're packing, as do its diversions (you're seriously spoilt for things to do). And if money's still burning a hole, Hackney's shops and markets sell temptation by the truckload, from vintage fabrics and designer must-haves to rare meats and artisanal bread.
