In short: Hackney is famous for its food scene: the Saturday Broadway Market by London Fields, the restaurants and bars around Mare Street and Hackney Central, Turkish and Vietnamese cooking along Kingsland Road, Dalston's late-night spots and Ridley Road Market, and Church Street in Stoke Newington. Restaurants change quickly, so check recent reviews before you go. For living, the Overground links Hackney to the City in minutes, and homes range from Victorian terraces to warehouse conversions.
