When you want to know about London you read All In London, but when you want to delve into the I.R.L. world it’s okay to find a solid human form you can trust. And if you’re interested in the history of Hackney then we suggest you trust the solid human form of long-time resident, Sean Gubbins.
Leader of Walk Hackney, this knowledgeable gentleman runs two walks a month throughout the year. Each walk offers an insight into the history of a neighbourhood, it’s place in the Hackney of today and the kinds of fun facts that tour guides seem to have spilling out of their ears. From Lower Clapton to De Beauvoir, London Fields to Shacklewell, there’s a Hackney Walk for everyone. And £8 for a two-hour walk? We dare you to find better value anywhere else.
