Greater London is the top-tier administrative division covering the capital, governed by the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority alongside 32 individual London boroughs. The London Borough of Hackney sits in the inner east of the city and has undergone dramatic transformation over recent decades, evolving from an area of industrial decline into one of London's most dynamic and creative boroughs. Hackney is home to diverse communities, thriving arts scenes, tech start-ups and some of London's most sought-after residential streets.
