The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the United Kingdom. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being a part of east London, with northern and western locations regarded to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns entire boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this strategy assigns Hackney to the ‘East’ sub-region, whilst the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively. Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey towards the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham towards the east, Tower Hamlets towards the south-east as well as the City of London towards the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. In accordance with population estimates from 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of around 263150 inhabitants. Much of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such locations as Dalston large housing estates have been joined by newly created gated communities. In South Hackney, near Victoria Park, terraced Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian housing still survives. Towards the east is the large open space of Hackney Marshes plus the districts of Hackney Wick and Homerton. Light industries inside the space around the River Lea employ over 3000 personnel. Some of the area was used for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
