Haggerston

Haggerston is an area of East London and as part of Shoreditch is also often considered part of London’s East End. In 1965, the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch became part of the new London Borough of Hackney. There is an electoral ward called Haggerston within the borough.

In the 1990s a number of the area's more rundown housing estates were refurbished and some disused public buildings were privately converted into gated communities.

In 2010 Haggerston Railway station re-opened, a little to the north of the original station. The new station straddles the northern boundary of Haggerston\Shoreditch, which leaves Kingsland Road at Arbutus Street (originally called Acton Road), runs along Albion Drive and returns to Regent's Canal at Broadway Market.

The area has the 9th highest crime rate in Hackney. 1
