Shoreditch, London: Hackney apartments<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A few years ago, you may not have heard of Hackney<\/a><\/strong>. Nowadays, it\u2019s one of London\u2019s most up and coming neighborhoods, thanks to an influx of spectacularly inexpensive and eclectic restaurants, a thriving art scene, and popular event nights at area clubs<\/strong>. If you chose a London vacation rental<\/a> here, you can stay in the first place that many locals head to on their days off and the last place a lot of tourists think to look.<\/p>\n

What makes Hackney<\/a> a great neighborhood is its sense of community and shared spaces. In Hoxton Square, the heart of the area, you can run into students, moms with strollers, practitioners of yoga and tai chi, artists with sketchpads, international travelers, young Londoners taking it easy after a night out and old-timers enjoying these ever-shifting scenes. There\u2019s no better place in the city to strike up a conversation.<\/p>\n

In the streets directly surrounding the square, you can discover a great tapas caf\u00e9, fresh sushi, a stylish, subterranean restaurant, a traditional pub, a chill cinema\/lounge, a small shop selling graffiti-inspired graphic tees, an independent music store, and the always worthwhile White Cube art gallery<\/strong>. That\u2019s four blocks filled with the type of funky (counter-) cultural places that London<\/a> is so famous for.<\/strong> Now you know where to find it! Do yourself a huge favor and, after booking your New York Habitat accommodation in Hackney<\/a>, check out local city guides or websites that will tell you what\u2019s happening around London in any given week of any given season. You don\u2019t want to miss anything that\u2019s going on in Hackney! There are sure to be festivals, art fairs, musical celebrations, retro street parties and any number of community-oriented events when you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n

In the fall and winter, you can already look forward to the Sutton House Craft Fair<\/strong>, the Ogle Everything holiday shopping stalls, various ghost walks (great for Halloween), Mother Goose children\u2019s theatre, and Bonfire Night (Nov. 5) in Hackney\u2019s Victoria Park<\/strong>, which marks an historic failed attempt to blow up Parliament by celebrating with\u2014what else?\u2014fireworks! Anything going on in Hackney is a guaranteed good time. Some amazing flats to stay in Hackney<\/a> are:<\/p>\n
