A private holiday home in Hackney/London in the midst of a colourful cultural scene.

Hackney seems to have a particularly strong attraction for young, creative people. According to statistics, almost two thirds of the population are under 44 years of age. Hackney reflects an important part of London’s history. The fields of the Roman settlers once lay here. In 1198 the village was first mentioned as the location of a mill and the rural character of the area was preserved until the end of the 18th century. But with increasing industrialisation, the need for building land grew and Hackney became a working-class district where poverty and misery were at home. During the Second World War, Hackney was largely destroyed by bombing raids. The red clinker brick buildings that are so characteristic of Hackney today were built after the war and were not very popular. It was not until the late 1990s that artists increasingly discovered the charm of the area. Gallery owners and restaurateurs followed this trend and a very inspiring lifestyle developed. Perhaps this is the reason why more and more tourists looking for an interesting holiday home in London decide to stay in Hackney. But London has so many facets, which cannot be recognized during a stay. Maybe next time you’ll decide on an apartment in Greenwich, London?
