In recent years the area has developed a reputation as ‘up and coming’ thanks in part to its regular pop-up projects, an organic farmers’ market and car boot fairs devoted to vintage goods. The strong presence of independent business in the area also adds to much of N16’s success, making it a truly distinctive part of the capital. From the sprawling greenery of Clissold Park to the mysterious yet romantic Abney Park cemetery, Stoke Newington offers the opportunity for inspiration at every turn. 6 7 132 GREEN LANES PARK LIFE CLISSOLD PARK IS ONE OF HACKNEY’S BEST- LOVED GREEN SPACES. The former country house estate has a rich history and was first opened to the public in 1889. It has since been recognised as one of the finest green spaces in the country. With clear-cut paths leading to Clissold’s seven gates, cyclists and joggers can use the bark-strewn athletics track circling the park, whilst those in search of a leisurely stroll can experience the tranquillity of two swan-filled ponds. Picturesque views of the mid-Victorian Saint Mary’s Church, with its 250-foot steeple, add further allure to this recreational oasis. Nestled in its centre, the park also has a mini-zoo. Rabbits, chickens, goats and deer are housed next door to a butterfly tunnel and aviary. For light refreshments, head to Clissold House’s newly refurbished café. 8 9 132 GREEN LANES HEALTHY LIVING CLEAN LIVING AND VAST OPEN SPACE Even with city living at your fingertips, Stoke Newington provides an urban village lifestyle.
