This sixty-minute Virtual Walk explores the wonderful variety of buildings in the Borough of Hackney from Tudor Sutton House to modern Bridge Academy. Once a village outside London, with its parish church, houses of the wealthy and its old Town Hall, in the Victorian period Hackney’s population boomed and elegant town houses started to be joined by furniture factories and warehouses. By the 1930s the mix included wonderful examples of civic pride like Haggerston Baths, Shoreditch Town Hall and Hackney Police Station as well as innovative social housing. More recently, Hackney has had a programme of building new schools and converting 20th century warehouses for a changing population. Whatever your taste, you are bound to find buildings you like on this virtual walk.
