Hackney: creative money in Georgian streets, on a very public high street.

Hackney holds a newer kind of London wealth — creative, media and technology money in the Georgian terraces around Clapton and De Beauvoir, the Victorian streets by London Fields and Victoria Park, and the converted warehouses off the canal. The contrast is the point: quiet residential squares a minute from Broadway Market and Mare Street, which are among the busiest, most sociable stretches of east London.

So our Hackney work pairs residential cover for the terraces and warehouse conversions — where access, deliveries and shared entrances matter more than walls — with close protection and driving through a district whose high streets crowd every evening and weekend. The register is low-profile by necessity: in Hackney, a conventional detail is the most conspicuous thing on the street.
