What Should I Do With 24 Hours In Hackney?

If you only have 24 hours to spend in Hackney, I recommend checking out these places:

  • Broadway Market: This market has a variety of food, clothing, and vintage stalls. It's open on Saturdays from 9am to 5pm. Estimated time: 1-2 hours.
  • Victoria Park: This large park has beautiful gardens, a boating lake, and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Estimated time: 2-3 hours.
  • Street art tour: Hackney has a lot of amazing street art, particularly around the Shoreditch area. Take a free walking tour or explore on your own. Estimated time: 1-2 hours.
  • Columbia Road Flower Market: This market is open on Sundays from 8am to 3pm and has a huge selection of flowers and plants. Estimated time: 1-2 hours.
  • Hackney City Farm: A small farm in the middle of the city where you can see farm animals and even attend classes and workshops. Estimated time: 1-2 hours.
  • The Geffrye Museum: This museum showcases the history of British homes and interiors. Estimated time: 2-3 hours.
  • The Hackney Empire: This historic theater has been operating since 1901 and hosts a variety of shows and events. Check the schedule for what's on during your visit. Estimated time: varies depending on show length.
