Surrounded by bustling streets just a stone’s throw from Hackney Central is a quiet and tranquil community focused residential development, combining stylish modern living with beautiful landscaped gardens, all set within the grounds of the Grade II listed St John’s Church.
The aptly named Hackney Gardens is made up of 58 luxury residential apartments, completed in July 2020, architect practice DLA Design created the overall design for the scheme including the landscape architecture elements.
Each lower ground floor apartment is accessible via steps and features tall back walls.
