London Fields

London Fields is where Hackney kicks back. Home to creatives and a plethora of independent shops, restaurants and bars, you could spend a month here and still never get to the bottom of your bucket list.

First to cross off, though, should be the eponymous park itself – a sprawling stretch of green that gets carpeted in picnic blankets come summer; London Fields Lido, one of the city’s only heated outdoor swimming pools; and Broadway Market, a street that swells each weekend with the bustle of street food and homeware stalls. Add to that rooftop bars; indie businesses tucked under railway arches and Michelin star-courting restaurants, and you’ll find there’s plenty outstanding in these Fields.
