How to reach Hackney

Hackney is not well served by public transport. The only station of the London Underground in Hackney is the Manor House Tube Station, which is at the northwestern tip of the borough near London Borough of Haringey. The other nearest station is the Old Street Tube Station, which is just a few yards outside Hackney, in the London Borough of Islington.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
