Hackney Wick & Fish Island

A hundred years ago, Hackney Wick was a thriving Victorian industrial suburb catering for a huge range of chemical industries, boasting London’s first dry cleaners and the world’s first synthetic plastic. The area’s industrial heritage is preserved to this day through the buildings, canals, yards, and intimate streets dating back to the 1860s. 

Today, Hackney Wick and Fish Island represent some of the world’s leading creative minds at home within a condensed area of canal-side studios, former industrial warehouses, residential developments and evolving multi-use estates. Innovation has been the heart and soul of Hackney Wick since it’s formation - a value which only continues to make itself know through the continual urban progression and industry-focused advancement to come out of this creative hotspot. Set alongside long-established residential and business communities, this has become one of London’s most exciting new destinations.
