Random borough 8: Hackney
Yesterday I ended up in northeast London wandering the streets of the randomly selected borough of Hackney. It's not one of London's most alluring boroughs, so the cold sleety weather was perfectly in keeping with the general atmosphere of the place. Hackney may be home to the poor, the displaced and the unwanted, but it's also affordable, accessible(ish) and full of character. And it's not far from where I live, which made getting there fortuitously simple. Zero marks to the council's official website for being wholly uninformative for tourists, but thankfully certain other websites provided several suggestions for interesting places to visit and sights to see. So much so that I'm splitting my report into three - first part today, the rest to follow.
But first, some photos. They're not of anything or anywhere special, they're just things and objects and street furniture, but they are very Hackney.
